Basement Convenience Center

Hello been cruising around site for a little while, finally bought a used 345RF Cruiser Patriot and had delivered to our full time site last weekend. I have had travel trailers but my first fifth wheel.

Unfortunately all the knobs in the convenience center are not labeled. I understand the city water inlet and black/grey tank handles. However there are 2 blue small levers, I think these are hot water tank and maybe city/pump for fresh water?

1) Is that correct?
2) Which direction does what?

The other is black flush, haven't really investigated how to use it yet.

It's currently winterized and I need to de-winterize it.

Sorry pic is small Thanks for any help!!!

Those blue knobs are for draining the cold and hot lines.

Thanks for the response

Cold and hot lines? Different than the low point drain valves? I don't know if I understand the purpose, where does it drain to? It's just open/closed and only used to winterize and dewinterize?

Sorry for my confusion

Yes, the low point drains. Open and the water drains out on the ground.

The black flush helps you flush the black tank when you are dumping it...It introduces clean water to the black tank, like a shower inside the tank, for a better cleaning of the tank...Do not leave it unattended while dumping it will flood your camper if overfilled...

Thanks DavisK, sleepyT and gmccabejr.

Got my water system all setup and I understand it now Thanks for your help and advice.

Now I got a leaky showing dripping in the basement, looks like new faucet is needed. Only access is circle panel under the faucet, looks like tight space not looking forward to that

Thanks again!
