394M what are these valves?

[Buddymc]

I feel stupid for asking but there is a large valve handle at an angle over the top of the grey water dump and another at an angle over the top of the black water dump, are these used in case the ones in the nautilus system fail? There is another small valve handle just under the fuel station door, I have no clue what it does, can anyone help me? The online manual doesn’t address any of these.

Can you take pictures? If one is white, that's the dump for the fresh water tank. A handle rear of the axles is most likely the dump for the rear black tank (garage bathroom/washer hookups if they are in the garage)

I can try to get some pictures tomorrow, both the valves over the black and grey dumps have white or very light grey handles. The one under the fuel station is smaller and is black. We don’t have a rear bathroom but do have washer/dryer hookups.

They are most likely your fresh water tank dumps. Pictures would confirm that.

Mine are directly in front and behind the axles. Keep in mind that there are two interconnected fresh water tanks but to properly dump both you need to pull both handles at the same time.

So exactly as mine.... the two white handles are for FRESH and the black handle is in the aft and corresponds to you rear holding tank, for the washer dryer in the 394M and includes that half bath in the 395M.

Thank you for the reply!

What is the reason for that? Just curious and doesn't make sense in my pea brain.

The two fresh water tanks are connected by a pipe that is narrower in diameter than the dump valve. If you only open one, it will take longer to dump for obvious reasons.

And the dump valve is at the lowest point in each tank.

Hope that helps.
