The manual for my 2004 5200 Sovran Salon states to by-pass the hot water tanks and drain them for winterization. I set the by-pass and opened the drain valves but water slowly trickled out until it stopped. Does anyone have a trick on how to vent the tanks so that all water can be gravity drained and not hung up in the tanks? I do not want to open the pressure relief valves to break any vacuum.
