The water exits the tank from the bottom area. Many times the supply line will have a "tee", going to a drain close to the tank's exit. The drain will be in the supply line at some point, and should be at the water line's lowest point within the LQ.

My trailer is a 2008 Lakota /w 12' lq. I have 2 fresh water tank and they did not put a drain on either one. There is a line drain near the hot water heater but when sanitizing the tanks I have to run 123 gal. through the pump. A slight pain but otherwise a happy customer.

Okay so if the valve is under the couch, how do you drain it? I hope this doesn't sound too stupid. It's my first LQ and I am coming up a steep learning curve! My trailer is an '06 so the drain is probably inside also, I'm guessing.

lift up the couch front and open it halfway...so it is kinda like a "V" instead of fully open, get flashlight and put your head under the couch and see if you can locate it. Good luck.

Yup - got under the trailer, saw where the drain pipes emerged, found the line inside with the valve, opened it up and voîla! Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.
