Expert Posts: 1286 Location: Mississippi	I had a place winterize my trailer when they were fixing some other items. I took care of de-winterizing it but the front tank that I use for fresh water to for my horses (there's a faucet on the front of my trailer near the jack) now won't hold water (it's draining right back out from underneath). I assume there was a plug or something but I cannot find it and have no clue what it would look like. The place that did it isn't close by so I really don't want to have to haul back when it's probably something stupid I am overlooking. I don't mind ordering a plug but am not sure what to search for or what that tank would be called.

Take a Picture Posts: 12842	There is a plug. It should stick straight down and directly under the tank. Probably a gray or white plug that may be just loose or not there. The plug should be female and the pipe coming down should be male. Here are some images that may help so you know what you are looking for.

I have also seen the valve be under the step to get up into the nose.

Take a Picture Posts: 12842	One thing I would think would be a major factor is who put the LQ in. Everyone does it differently and the LQ in a particular brand of trailer may not have been put in by the same person.

Expert Posts: 1286 Location: Mississippi	Thanks guys! I will crawl under there this afternoon and see what I can find. Outlaw did the living quarters but I couldn't locate anything about that particular tank in the manual.

Veteran Posts: 146	You will find a valve under your couch on the left side that controls that drain. I use it to drain my fresh water tank.
