I purchased a 96 Alpenlite 34RL last year and never used the onboard water for anything because all the camping we did was full hookups, my question is: where is the hose or drain for this tank so I can clean and drain the tank? I looked everywhere on the bottom but no 100% sure I know what I am looking for.

What the ratio of bleach & water to sanitize the tank? it is a 100 gallon tank

the drains for ours is under the bottom drawer in the kitchen cabinets, one each for the hot and cold.

Your best bet is to locate the fresh water tank. From there do some searching. If you can see the tank from inside the TT (under dinette or couch, or through a storage compartment) than look around that. if you can not see the tank (concealed under the TT) Than look from a spout hanging under the TT, usually near where you would fill it. It should be located in one of those areas.

Ia gree find the tank and you should be able to find the drain. It may look like the shut off valve on a cooler, just turn the lever and the water drains out. If you never used it there may not be any water in it.

That's great advice for you to follow!

Look for a red handle between the wheels on the door side of the trailer. That's where the fresh drain was on another 96 I recently saw.
