My Roo 23SS has them, just can't see them unles you crawl underneath, there is no reason to see them on the 23SS because there are valves inside the unit that you use to open (drain) the lines. I would think it to be very similar in your 233S.

I can find the water tank drain under the Roo, but as far as any drain valves inside, nope. I'll crawl under there again to see, but if this is only to help winterize, I blow air through the lines so I'm not too concerned about lines freezing.

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

ok here are my low drains I went to Menard's the other day in search of the 1/4 values and they had them.. the guy there showed me how they work using the same type of tubing I had. My question after leaving the store of course was do I need to cut off the bottom where the plugs are now because the the tube he demonstratedhow they work did not have the fitting that I have on mine right now it was just the tube. I have included a photo to what I am referring to.

Thanks VJK & Tracy B

Get the 1/4 turn valves that have a male fitting that will screw into your existing. Just use some tef

I do not know that they are inside of the trailer when I mentioned the spots you might want to try and find them I meant look outside under those particular areas of the trailer (i.e.: tub/ water heater, or your couch area)

No I did not I used a gel that the plumbing dept. suggested instead. I don't have the tube nearby but I can say it was a red & white tube and the gel was grey in color. It said to put it around the threads before attaching them. The guy said this works better and last longer then the tephlon tape...
