Hello everyone, as the subject stated I am looking for a replacement fresh water drain plug. I acquired the TT (2004 Fleetwood Wilderness Advantage 300FQS,) from a friend that only used city water and never had to load the fresh water tank. When I went to de-winterize the unit I was going to fill the fresh water tank only to find a puddle of water under the TT. I have looked everywhere without luck. I had read that Home Depot or Lowes might have a PVC termination plug that might work, but can't to seem to find the right size...2" was closest, but did not fit. I would be greatly appreciative if anyone has any insight as to the whereabouts of such plug. It appears that plug is going to have the threads on the outside, as the tank hole is threaded on the inside. It also looks like the plug is going to be just shy of 2" in diameter. Going to the races in a few weeks and could really use one! Thank you all in advance.

I ended up buying several from the manufacturer. Different size than yours, different manufacturer. Give Fleetwood parts dept. a call.

I was thinking about that, but was hesitant due to Fleetwood not manufacturing TT's anymore. I will give them a ring on Monday! Thank you.

I suspect the fitting on your tank is designed for a PVC petcock to screw into so you have only to open and close the valve to drain the tank or retain the water.
Good luck / Skip

It is probably a 1-1/2" NPT hole which a fairly standard plumbing size. Your Home Depot or Lowes will have a standard plug that should fit. The material does not matter.
Make sure you use Teflon tape on the threads before putting it in.
