Default Winterizing question....

So I ahve this great book I LOVE That mike and Kelly put together for my 2720sl 2006 but we we're trying to winterize and I'm trying to figure out for the LIFE of me where the "low point valves" are. I haven't looked super hard, but don't evne know if they are outside or under the sink? and I don't want to miss one... any help would be great THANKS!

There are two sets of low point drains - one set is forward of the wheels and the second set is forward of the rear stabilizer.

Be sure to open all faucets in the TM when draining, kitchen and bath sinks plus the tub and outside shower. It’s also a good idea to remove the hand sprayers from the kit sink and shower, inside and out so that they can drain. I blow through the hose on the outside shower to make sure all the water is out of it. This is one of the most common thing to freeze and crack.

Be sure to pull the shower and sink sprayer hoses out and hold them up after you take off the sprayers. This will allow them to drain as well. Don't lose the washers in the sprayer assemblies. If you have access to a compressor, even a small one, attach it to the city water inlet, close all the faucets and drain valves, pressurize the system to about 20 psi , then open each faucet and drain valve one at a time to purge any remaining water. Finally open all faucets and drains. Just an extra safety measure. I usually then pour about 2 oz of RV antifreeze in the two sink traps and the tub trap. Get some essential oil of peppermint ( not peppermint scented oil) put 10 drops on one or two cotton balls and put them in a glass or jar. Sit this on the floor. Be careful not to get the oil on counter tops, floor or wood. It will keep out ants and spiders and appears to work on mice as well.
