Fresh Water Tank Drain

[Bruce Morris]

I know that the drain is not the largest valve to try to drain the tank, but if
you want to drain it quickly why not open the spigot outside in the basement
compartment (Low Point drain) and drain the tank through that faucet? Actually
you would be pumping it out using the water pump.

Tank draining is a slow process on our FC coach. Reason for slow drain is
probably due to
air having to travel back up the drain line periodically to break the vacuum
in the tank. I've
found that opening a hot and cold tap in the coach speeds up the process. I
can hear a
sucking sound when I do it so I think it is pulling air in backwards through
the water pump.
