How to drain fresh water tank in 2017 Freedom Elite 29fe

Hello, I am trying to fill and drain my fresh water tank for the first time. Does anyone know how to do this for my specific model? Thank you all in advance.

Typically Thor puts a drain valve near the water tank behind a removable panel somewhere. If you know the general location of your water tank, look around it on the inside for a panel held on with screws. In "Thor's thinking" screws=removable (Staples=permanent).

In addition, if the water heater is nearby you'll find bypass valves for it in the general vicinity (if you have a tank heater and not one of the newer "instant heaters").

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. This RVing is new to me, but darn it I am going to get this.

I have your model. There is a petcock on the outside of your rv by the door toward the front. That's the drain for the water tank. It only drains the water tank, not the lines if you were thinking of winterizing.
