My guess would be bleach .... just like sanitizer maybe a bit stronger than normal.

On my new starcraft, I have found that I have to turn the valve all the way to get the fresh tank to drain. Looks like it has to go more than 90 degrees. Try that.

You might also check the vent that is located near the fresh water fill cap location. This vent allows air to escape while it is being filled/allows air to enter the tank as it is being emptied. Sometimes it gets clogged with cobwebs or debris.

I found by having all faucets open, it allows the air to enter and flows like it should . Always work for me, unless like some on said you have a clog.

You probably figured this out by now like I did but I had same problem while level...then I purposely tilted the rig towards that corner by lowering the front crank and using leveling blocks on the door side and all the water came rushing out easily.

When in the open position, try jamming a wire up there to see if its clogged. Or a shop vac to suck the blockage away

Greetings.

I am working on getting my new to me Travelstar 21 SB set up to go camping this weekend. I don't know the previous owners habits, or cleaning routines, so I decided to sanitize the fresh water tank and system. I filled it with water, and added the correct amount of bleach, and I let it sit for 8 or 9 hours. I opened the drain valve last night to let it drain, and it is still draining, at a slight trickle...

My question is, how fast should it drain? It seems really slow to me. Is there any way to speed it up?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
