2021 Four Winds 31WV Fresh water tank valve location?

Where is that beloved white handle to dump the potable from the fresh tank? I’ve looked under the dinette seats, under the sink, beneath the rig, near the grey and black tank valves, and am lost as to what’s next. Where is it???

Did you look near the tank? Under the bed?

There's nothing consistent about a dump valve location for fresh water tanks. Our 2019 35SF didn't have one...anywhere. It took major disassembly to not find it where others said ot may be and where their's was on very similar models/floorplans. You may not have one. I would just run the tank down as we approached home and use the pump to empty it when winterizing.

I did see a silver, football-shaped handle adjacent to the water filter under the bed. Is that it?

Look for this- should be on one end of the tank, on the deck.

If anything like the Tellaro 20A and 20L, you will need to hire ET to operate it. Ridiculously small access panel that will say 'tank drain' on it.

In the 20A Tellaro was inside a storage compartment way in the back. Impossible to use.

Have a 2022 Thor Chateau 31W, very nearly identical floor plan. It should be under the bed. Problem I had with mine is that to get to it, the bed panels the mattress sit on are screwed in. Recommend you add hinges (I did) so easier to lift in future and you can have wife turn the darn thing while you hold up the mattress. Also, if you haven't found them, would wager your lowpoint drain valves are under the drawer under the refrigerator, which is where mine are. Good luck.

Take a good picture. That may be it or it may be the tank isolation valve from the pump.

2021 Four Winds 31WV fresh water tank valve location

I have a 2024 four winds and found my fresh water tank valve located behind a panel in the rear storage bay near the black and gray dump valves.

Do you think Four Winds would be the common denominator? Or the Model/Floor Plan (32WV Vs 27R)?

Four Winds and Chateau are sister products. Floor plans within those models dictate where the utilities are located... not so much the name. Freshwater tank location is dictated by floorplan, and the tank drain (if installed) most certainly very close to the tank. Like most things in RVs it's similar to a treasure hunt. Maybe you'll find it... maybe you won't.
