Been there, done that, but only with +1 usage.  If I still lived on the ranch it would be so damn simple.
Oh, you meant WATER tank draining......

Well, if they do read this, I'd like to suggest another small improvement. I think it would be awesome if the drain plug on the fresh water tank was actually at the lowest point of the tank. I'm guessing that doing that would allow ALL the water out of the tank when you're trying to DRAIN it.]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2018 08:10:35 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11957&PID=112876#112876 dump tubes on Hood River edition : The lowest drag points on my Hood... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11957&PID=112872#112872 Author: codycountry

The lowest drag points on my Hood River 177 are the dump tubes. 
Those two dump tubes  hang  way down below the frame, below the torsion axles,  and well below the holding tanks, so if they moved them up a few inches to touch the frame they would still work quite well to drain the tanks.  
I hope the company reads this stuff.  
 Forrest River could move them up to touch the bottom of the frame and give a few more important inches of clearance, which is a lot of clearance,  especially if you camp up rough two track roads like I often do, or even when driving through dips and potholes on paved roads. 
 My Hood River 177  looks impressive sitting on level ground for ground clearance, until you look at the dumb drains that hang way down below the frame.  Still love it though.
