Tank drain replacement
#1

Had some spare time yesterday and decided to change the old type tank drains and run 1/4" tubing with 1/4 turn ball valves to a location that is accessible, this was recommended to me by senor gurus and it makes sense and wonder why Newell didn't think of this. Before doing all this I put the coach in raise then put the 20 ton jack stands underneath the rear and front then hit the dump so I'm assured the coach will not squash me like a bug but I still get nervous when I was dumping the air from the tanks laying on my back watching for any movement. I've lost enough weight that it makes it much easier to get between the drive and tag wheels and scoot myself to the desired spot not as quickly as Richard but I can get there. The hardest tanks are the front tanks most certainly the one dead center of the coach, another what was Newell thinking. Confused One thing I noticed is I had no more than a couple table spoons of water in all my tanks combined and think this is because my Junair compressor has a automatic water dump on the output air side and we replaced the air dryer soon after we bought it. Pictures will follow as I'm waiting for the sun to come up and finish the job.
