3 drains?

Brought trailer home today to de-winterize (it has been winterized for over a year), I discovered I have 3 drain valves on the bottom. While putting water in tank, I discovered one draining, but it wasn't red or blue as I expected. This one was clear from center of TT?
I've been learning all I can about all this, but not even my owners manual mentions anything about this odd drain.
Afterwards only the clear one would drain, others were dry.

Can anyone explain to me?


Please & thank you

Fresh water tank has a clear or white drain line. Should have a cap or valve on it. Vent/over flow will not have a valve. low point drains can be red and blue or both white.

The fresh water tank drain valve is most likely located in the in the center of the trailer and most likely has a white petcock type valve.
Your black and grey tanks valves should be labeled on the lower side of your trailer and will have black handles.
Also, when you go to dump your tanks after a use, make sure you dump the black tank first, then the grey. This way the grey water acts like a flush to get all the black tank contents out of the sewer line.

Mine is not the same model but I have 3 drains. Near the front and under the fresh water tank is a drain with a petcock. Towards the rear and located near the hot water heater are the drains for the hot and cold water pipes. The shutoffs are located in a compartment with the 12 volt water pump and hot water heater behind a panel that has exposed screws. Yours may be different. Look for your instruction booklet where it should show how to sanitize and drain your system.
