I have a 2003 Springdale 260TBL and was wondering if this unit has a "low point water drain", and if so, where is it located? Does anyone know? THANKS!!!

It's made simple on the Cruiser. In a nut shell and abreviated I pull the drain plug on the HW heater and let water drain. I open all faucets and low point drains and allow water to drain off. I also empty/clean all holding tanks.



After that I close up all the facuets and low points again, switch on board pump from tank to the winterizing line and I stick the tube into a bottle of the winterizing fluid. Turn the pump of, start at most distant plumbing fixture and allow to run H/C water until pink. I repeat this at all fixtures, shower, toliet, outside shower and low points. I shut pump off, drain all low points of the pink stuff back into bottle and pour down drains to fill p-traps.



That's about it.

Thanks that was great and helpful do you have a short hose or cut off hose to suck out of the bottle?

check behind the panel for the water pump the hose on mine was attached from the factory all you do is pull it out stick it in the bottle and turn the valve to bypass the tank and the pump sucks it right out of the bottle

Ok I found that. And I took the panel out from behind the waterheater and found 2 valves back there but I've also discovered a wet board the water heater is setting on so I have the water on and checking for leaks

Ut oh! Well I hope it's just a loose fitting. One valve needs to be turned on to use the tube, one needs to be turned on to bypass HW heater tank.
