We bought a 2003 Minnie Winnie that sat unused for 3 years. The previous owner left water in the fresh water holding tank. Now the meter reads 2/3 full all the time. Also, we are having trouble draining the water from that same tank. We used the bleach/water sanitizing recommendations for cleaning, but not sure about these other issues.
ANSWER Hi Glen, congratulations on your new RV. Since you have already sanitized your RV's fresh water holding tank, we will not go over that procedure here. But if any of our visitors are interested in learning how to properly sanitize their RV's fresh water holding tank we have a great article in the RV Lifestyle Articles section of our website by RV Expert Mark Polk from RV RV Education 101 called Freshen Up Your RV Water System.
Depending on the length your Minnie Winnie is, you either have a 30 or 40 gallon fresh water holding tank. When you sanitized your fresh water tank, I assume that you ran your RV's water pump until no more water was coming out of the faucets. If you still have water in the tank and you want to get rid of it, you are going to have to locate the drain plug or drain petcock for your RV's fresh water tank. To locate this drain you are going to have to crawl under the RV and locate the freshwater tank and then the petcock or drain plug. These drain plugs or petcocks are usually located near the bottom of the tank. Remove the plug or open the petcock to drain all of the remaining water out of the tank.
