1) there is a water heater / central heater in the garage area which has a thermostatic switch - the purpose is that if you run the pumps at all when the temperature is below freezing, it will pop out and empty all the water for you. So one way would be to push that switch manually. It's blue and in the garage
2) inside the actual water tank itself is a plug - to get to it, you need to lift up the cushion of the seat, and then, unscrew the cap to the water tank (about 4 inches across) put your hand into it, and pull out the plug below.
we have a 2011 adria coral there is a tap on the top of the fresh water tank under the passenger seat you only need to turn it a couple of times to empty if you still cannot find i can take a photo of ours if you like?

Which is exactly what I said about eleven hours before you!
Please try to read the whole thread before posting the same advice.
On your first point, Heather, after you have drained down for the winter, do you find it easy to reset the blue drain tap? Mine won't stay locked in and I have to improvise.

Norm, your not turning into one of those grumpy old men since your birthday are you?
Ray
I certainly hope not, Ray.
But surely, a thread should be incremental, one post building on to the previous ones. I wouldn't expect a bricklayer to insert a lintel after his mate had already inserted one. What's the point?
If I feel the urge to post in response to someone's question, I try to read the whole thread first, to make sure I'm NOT repeating, or seriously contradicting, what's already been advised.
Of course, there are times when there may be more than one solution to a problem in which case, the more advice the better!
Now then Ray. Have you nothing better to do than sit playing on the computer all day!?

[For Norm's benefit] This post is not a repeat as it has a relevant 'link'.
My N+B Arto has an unscrewable(*) cover to the tank and a plug, similar to other systems, but also a chain connecting cover to plug (ingenious!) except it is of the bath-plug useless strength variety and thus has broken. But when I replace it with stronger one I will avoid the chilblains! (- see I have read the whole thread)
* the cover is also 'screwable' - it saves space'. Apologises to Chic Murray!
We have just had our first trip and used the 'Simples' way. Wife in van pokes through overflow pipe a length of homebrew hose and pokes it in tank, I'm on outside grab the other end and suck and syphon. Beats flooding the van or risking freezing

I don't drain down for the winter.
I keep water all year round, because I need it, for the toilet, and to make a cup of tea, etc.

Turn the heating on. This will warm up the boiler/drain valve and enable it to be reset in the closed position.

With the whole interior running at 15C, the valve will not reset. But I have my ways!!
