2016 16XRB - Low Point Drains

I have two spots that show 'low point drain' on the TT. One is the fresh water drain valve that I use often. The other spot is a set of two small pvc pipes that have no valves (that I can see). What are these for? They've never let any water out.

The other two are the hot/cold water lines low point drains. The valves are inside usually right above where you see the tubes coming through the floor. Pull up on the valve to open, down to close. Here is a typical picture of the valves.

Interesting. I had gone in to look at where I thought those were coming from (under the bathroom sink, I think). All I could see under there were the lines to the sink and to the outdoor shower. I had hoped I wouldn't have to unscrew the panel at the bottom of the sink, but I'm guessing that's where these are located.

I saw a thread about adding valves to the accessible drains outside. I think that's going to have to happen this summer. I assume I can just leave the valves open under the sink when I've got the additional valves closed outside.

Thanks for the info!

The easiest way is use Sharkbite fittings, they just push on and lock into place, available at Home Depot/Amazon. This way you can leave the valves open above and control for outside, much easier.https://www.amazon.com/SharkBite-230...5%3A2470955011

Angry Hot & Cold water low-point drains

I have a 2015 Jayco Eagle HT 27.5 BHS fiver. The hot & cold water low point drains drip. Anybody else have this problem, and if so what was your solution? These valves are the "plunger" type and pretty hard to reach...
Thanks!
