New to forum.
I'm an old lady with a 2012 Frog. Getting to the fresh water drain plug is tough for me. Has anyone found an easier solution to draining the fresh water tank?

Hi there...it isn't located in the easiest spot, is it? Depending on how full the tank is you could run your fawcett and shower hose and then empty the gray tank....

You could also (probably with help) put an elbow on the drain and run a section of hose out to the side where you can reach it. I would put a valve on it instead of using another plug if you do so. That should make it easier.

It would be easy to put an elbow and a length of pipe to the side of the trailer with a valve at the end, but it is something that could get knocked off by road stuff, especially if there is limited clearance under the tank.  The length of pipe would have to be well supported to protect it from damaging the tank fitting.

That's what you get here.  :) 
1) well-planned options from/for folks with, skills, contacts, or money
2) work-arounds from/for those without
