Re: [VAC] Water Pump

Hi Dana,
         We have a 1972 Overlander that, if I remember correctly, is really 
similar to yours.  We had some problems with the water system and it sounds 
like your trailer may have similar valves to ours.  Underneath our sink are 
three shut off valves (like an outdoor faucet).  The one that sticks out 
sideways (and is consequently very difficult to turn) is the one that 
drains our tank.  The other two drain the hot and cold water lines that go 
to the back of the trailer. (If your follow the pipes carefully, you should 
be able to figure out which ones they are.) The ones in the back drain your 
water heater.  I have found that our tank will drain using the shut off I 
mentioned first, but it doesn't seem to want to drain very fast or 
completely.  We haven't winterized yet though, so tipping the trailer first 
up at the hitch end and then down may help, I don't know.  Also, for what 
it's worth, we had to replace the rubber gaskets that are in each shut off 
valves to get them to shut off completely.  Good luck.
