Dumping fresh tank

I have had my 3700RL out twice since I got her. She is spectacular and every thing is working great. I bought it 12 days old and it has a full tank of potable water. The dealer was very busy the day we picked her up and the regular guy that does the walk through was busy with another customer so the salesman did his best. I have yet to figure out how to dump the tank. He told me the red and blue hose would do it in the central service station but that did not work. I need to figure it out before the next trip. I know someone can help with this quickly so I'm just waiting. There I'm finished.

Tim, your fresh water tank in installed near the rear of your coach. If you look under the trailer you will see a PVC tube hanging with a plastic cap screwed onto it. Just remove the cap.

Happy trails and best of luck with your Montana.

Tim,
In the back on the driver side of the rig you should see an access door. This is where you would fill the tank using a hose. The drain is in the back underneath on the driver side. Underneath the rig and coming out of the belly in the rear of the trailer, you should see a single water line with a screw on cap. Take the cap off and your freshwater tank will drain. The water line under the rig may also have an ON/OFF valve in place of the screw on cap.

Jack

Tim when you get time you can add a turn off valve to replace the cap.Makes the drain easer can get a valve and fittings at the hardware store

And those two hoses you mentioned are for draining low water points

Newer rigs such as the OP's 3700RL, come with a On/Off valve rather than the old screw on cap. Yet another technological advancement.

The ON/OFF valve makes the job of draining the tank a lot easier, plus you don't need to worry about losing the screw on cap
