I have a sunnybrook 34 bwts 2002 and do not know where the low point drain plugs are or the drain for the fresh water tank. I have never dry camped and will be needing to load up with water in November for a camping trip to campground that has water shut off and want to drain the water afterward and winterizing the rig once we are done but do not know where that plug is.

Usually the tank drain is underneath the trailer hanging down. As for a low point drain, not all have what I call a great low point drain, and they are not in the same place in all trailers. Mine are inside my side storage, behind a wall pannel. They are worthless. I just drain my water tank, and HW tank, then blow all my water lines out with a compressor and drain the last bit from the gray tanks, pour a little antifreeze down each drain for the traps, and all done. Takes about 20 min. total to do the whole thing depending on how full my water tank is.

There are more then likely three lengths of drain hanging below your trailer. Easy to spot once under there and that's what you're looking for. The drain for your water tank is located near your water tank obviously and the other two will be very close to each other.

Places to look for low point drains: (they will be near each other and hanging down, as above)

Between the wheels, close to the body. Rear corner(s). Below/near pump. Under the bed (these might have pull rings. In the lower cabinets (same rings) Is there a system of valves in your rig? Sometimes it's a combo of how you set them. VK

I've had my TT since "99" and just found my low point drains this year. usually I just blow out my water lines and never worried about using the drains. I happen to be looking under the TT and there they were. I have to take out my two drawers in the kitchen area to access the valves, so I think I still will blow out the lines and add anti freeze.

My Winnebago has them under the flooring of the cabinet under the bathroom sink. They can be anywhere. Let us know where they are when you find them.

I agree the best way to find them is to crawl under the MH and look for the tubes sticking down.

I will post when I find them, not winterizing til 3 rd week in November and after blowing out the piping with air compressor, I do suck up the antifreeze through all the faucets, shower and toilet, outside shower and pour some down the traps of sink and shower.

The weirdest low point location: behind the built in TV in the living room. These were the type that had the pull rings, so the TV had to be removed to access them. Factory did it... VK
