Wanderlodge Gurus - The Member Funded Wanderlodge Forum - Water System drains above driver side tag axle tire

I have two questions for the forum; I will send them as two subjects to keep
them straight. Thanks in advance.

What are the two drains (at least I think they are drains) that exit through the
floor of the bedroom (under the side cabinet of the bed) above the driver side
tag axle tire? Both have an inline valve just before exiting through the floor,
the pipes though the floor are open to the air, extending down into the wheel
well 4-5 inches; one has a 1/2" hose and the other a much smaller hose (3/8"?).
These are both part of the pure water system. Is one to pump out the fresh
water tank and the other the hot water tank?

We drove our 91WL from Iowa to North Carolina before Christmas and encountered
very freezing temperatures during the trip (teens). I believe these valves
froze and will need replaced as they are now dripping when I turn on the water
pump.

Yes. The valves on my 91 are labeled cold water drain and hot water drain. My are under the bed so it is hard to believe they could freeze, but if they are leaking I would guess they must have.
