R29 LE Hot Water Tank Winterization

[Pritch6397]

I have a new 2024 R29 LE and wanted to drain the hot water heater. Some of your materials indicate the tank has a drain valve. I accessed the tank in the cave and removed the panel only able to view the end of the tank. There are numerous PEX/PVC hose fittings and one Stainless Steel hose connection. I did not find a drain valve. Ultimately I disconnected a PVC elbow with a pex line at the lowest point of the tank. I would not say this was optimum....am I missing something regarding a drain valve? Thanks

There is a black knob on the bottom of the tank with a pec fitting that runs to your shower pump box. That is the drain for the tank. Open that knob and it will drain the tank.

Thanks, I put 8 gallons of RV antifreeze in the water tank and cycled it through the hot and cold. along with my line disconnect (previously described)....do you see any reason this wouldn't be sufficient?
