Default Finding water tank to drain for winterizing

We have a BT Cruiser 2003, 22'. We just got it and are trying to prepare it for winterizing. Does anyone own one like this and could help us find the plug? We have looked under the RV cannot find a drain plug. Manuals are too vague and not specific enough to help. We are newbies as you could figure out,

I'm not familiar with the BT Cruiser, but in our class a sunvoyager, the water pump is near one end of the water tank. Follow the hose from tank to pump. There should be a "T" with a line going to the bottom of the compartment and a blade-type valve that you pull up/open to drain the water.

I actually have 2; one on either side of the pump. I open both in prep for winterizing. the 2nd drains your water lines in the coach (be sure to open the faucets). Don't forget to drain your icemaker! (access via the external vent panel). Also, after isolating/bypassing the hot water heater (under kitchen sink), remove heater drain plug accessed from external vent panel. Turn the circuit breaker/interupter switch to OFF (behind the external vent panel also). You don't want the element to ever be turned on without water in tank.

Default Finding Freah Water Drain Plug for Winterizing

I've had a similar problem with a 2005 BT Cruiser 5290 that I've had for a month. There are two "T" handles in the bedroom on the floor and beneath the hanging closet and slideout drawers. I suspect these are the "low-point" hot and cold water drain lines.
I would think there should be a drain line directly connected to the fresh water tank but haven't found it. I have not, however, crawled under the the MH to look there. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
