fresh water tank drain
I own a 2017 Thor 23TB. Today I used compressed air to blow out water from the plumbing. However, I cannot find the drain to the potable fresh water tank. I drained the lines using the low-point drains under the sink area. However, I cannot find the drain for the fresh water tank. The manual is not helpful. Where do I find the valve?

Limited experience across models here. On mine there is a drain valve right on the base of the fresh water tank. Perhaps yours may be there as well?

I'm new to this world.
I also have the ACE 29.3. But, it's the 2018. I looked for the drain a couple days ago. When you say it's just before the pump, what pump and where. If they may be located in the same place. I wanted to drop 50 gals of fresh water (weight reduction) and had to do it the hard way. That took a while not to mention I had to dump it twice. Fresh water tank to black and gray tanks. Then dump them.
I guess ignorance is bliss. :-)
Thanks.

Found it
The valve is in the compartment where the grey/black water valves are located.

Wow! That's where the Hurricane 29M low points are, at least that's my belief. The FW tank drain on it is in the compartment right under the tank. Easy to find and get to the valve and drains out on the ground underneath vehicle.

I have a 2019 Thor four winds 31E. Does anyone know where the fresh water tank drain is?

The valve will be located at the bottom of the tank. It is possible, though unlikely that it will be under the tank beneath the RV. Sometimes Thor puts a small white spigot on the outside sidewall adjacent to the tank. Shouldn’t be all that hard to find but if you really can’t find it just open the low point drain and turn on the pump. It’s just as fast or maybe faster than a gravity drain anyway.

freshwater tank drain leak
looking for some help to understand a situation with freshwater tank.
have someone trying to fill tank, and they have notice water leaking for the drain spigot.
It appears they are unable to fill the tank as the monitor shows 0% in the tank.
Where should we search to determine how to stop the water running out of the drain?
Thanks

Where the drain enters the drain valve near the bottom of your tank.
That's as good as it gets without the Year/Make/Model of your RV.

Different model, but on ours a panel on the bottom of the bedroom wardrobe has to be removed to access it. It is a long reach back to it but it’s along the bottom of the tank near the water pump. In the attached pic it is the red T-handle. The tankless water heater bypass valves and low point drains are also accessed via removal of the same panel, along with a couple of drawers.
