Evening guys Wow eight pages to read.

Mike, I had a camper before without a drain, had top pump it out into the sink. You may need to run your pump and pump it into the drain. I know that for some years the camper manufacturers got cheap and only had on hole on the tank which made them hard to winterize. Good luck.

Figured it out, just open the valve and wait, it eventually started to trickle out and is now empty. It took a few hours for it to drain 1/3 of the tank. Kind of a PITA but it works. Tomorrow, the antifreeze goes in and it gets parked for the winter.

It might have needed a open valve somewhere else up the line to allow air to replenish the water exiting?

It rained a bit coming down from I-Falls this afternoon and I don't want snow yet. First snow means that Mustang goes back into storage.

Nice fish Dave.

We don't each slimy northerns around here too often Steve. Well some do, I just can not get out the Y bones, but on a fish that side I probably could.

I would recommend blowing the lines out with the air compressor first. I had a bad experience once. Broke a line under the bath tub on a 5er. Had to fix it through a 4" x 10" opening from up by the bed.
