Searching for freshwater drain - 2011 Eagle Superlite 298RES

I have a new to me 2011 Eagle Superlite 298RES and of course it didn't come with the original manuals although I've gotten many from Jayco.

I can't find a drain value for the freshwater tank. I know the overflow for it is near the axle in the center but I haven't seen a value sticking down through the enclosed under carriage. Their is a spot near the entry door on the side labeled low point drains and there 2 white values (I assume hot an cold low point) and then a black thing that might be a value. I'm wondering if this is for the fresh water tank, and if so, how do I open it? I've attached a picture. Jayco has provided a lot but wasn't able to comment on the freshwater drain.

Welcome,
The black thing is the propane quick connect for LP grill or ....
I have a 2011? Eagle Suoerlite 318RLS and the low point drains for the fresh tank is on curb side near front near where the tank is. Find the fill port and look underneath near there.

Thanks

I did find 2 more value below the fill connection. I'm guessing that is what I am looking for, must mean I have 2 freshwater tanks. I'll check them out. Thanks for the help

Unless you have two fill ports, you probably don’t have 2 fresh water tanks. But I could be wrong. Photo what you found on the side of the TTvand underneath if u can.

Apparently I am wrong, the fresh water capacity is 76 gals. So I probably do have 2 tanks or 1 LARGE ONE. Check out the specs.

My 2012 308RETS has two 42 gal. freshwater tanks, connected. Their drains are back behind the rear passenger side tire. They have levers on their tops to drain and close. The stupid label says low point drains. The real low point hot and cold drains are in front of the passenger-side tires, also labeled low point drains

Edit: My model is the next year's model of yours.

I've attached a photo of the two drains that are near the freshwater fill. I agree that at 76 gallons I must have two tanks. Also the response below indicated that a similar model also has 2 tanks and the locations he describes are similar to mine.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I have 2 tanks as well and my drain values are located very similarly to yours.

thanks

From your #6 posts it looks like you have 3 tanks, Fresh.Grey, and black! 76 gallon for fresh that's good. Thanks
