Low point drain on 2016 Thor Chateau 31L

Does anyone know where the low point drain valves are located? I can see them below the unit. They are about the midpoint (side to side) and another 6' from the back. There are no valves visible. The lines appear to come up into the corner of the bed but again, no valves. The schematic shows two but I expect that is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine is a '13, but odds are that they are the same....

My low point valves under the bed, are buried under a rats nest of romex wires and other electrical stuff. I feel like I need to kill all power in the coach to get at them. It's a really great design.
If you open the bed hatch, look to the left of the converter, way down deep in a hole. They are really difficult to get to even after I shut off my power.

One more thing it took me a while to get....
Yours might be a different valve, but on mine....It seems like the valve handles would turn, but they are a pull out to open (rising stem) valve

blw2,
Thanks for the reply. That's where I thought they had to be but three people looked at it and did not see them. I think maybe what happened is that when they put in the black foam to seal the hole where the drains go out the coach they got a little too much and it covered the valves. I'll do some more digging. Not ready to winterize yet but didn't want to wait until the last minute to find out where they were. When the salesman did the walk through he pointed to the fresh water tank drain and said, "That's your low point drain." Same guy that didn't know where the filter was that is very well hidden. And thanks for the tip on the "ull out to open". That quite likely would have caused me some grief.

I finally took another look and found them right where you said they were. I am going to get some white paint and paint the handle to make it easier to see. Thanks for the help.

I am not winterizing just yet. About three more weeks. I just didn't want to wait until the last minute to find them.
