The quarter turn also works but removing the metal pins allows air to enter more quickly. Another thing that I was hoping to avoid by pulling the pins and not just turning the valve is to avoid fatigue on the flimsy plastic valves. I am worried that too many turns will result in the valves either cracking or not sealing properly. Wow, who knew I had so much to say about low point drain valves...

Pins out? I just give them one quarter turn ? There feels like an internal click...... Have I been doing this wrong?

Yes, the low point drain valves are behind a panel below the sink (I have the same model). Warning, put some towels around the valves before gently pulling the pins out horizontally (otherwise you will be mopping up a mess of water since it will likely have some residual pressure).

The valves are probably right above those stubs inside the trailer. I have to take the lower panel off my bathroom sink to get to them on my 24rls. You'll want to make sure that end of your trailer is lower. But just to make things complicated, then I have to raise that end to get all the water to drain out of my fresh water tank which is on the other end.

I have simply never looked for the fresh water low point drain valves, but with a cold snap on us, can't seem to find them. I see the sticker on the outside of the trailer, but there are just two stub tubes sticking through the floor. Looked all around inside and have no idea. The manual didn't provide much help either. I was hoping it would be as easy as the low point valve for the water tank release, I was wrong! If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
