Drain hole located

Was able to find the drain hole.. it was around behind the power antenna and forward of the PRV.

You have to stick your head behind the antenna unit to see it.


This must be the drain tube hole!


Found hole location in one of the photos

Believe it or not.. what looked like a hose port was spotted in one of the digital photos!!

As you can tell.. I take lots of photos while working on the Riv. The Canon SX 230 HS works GREAT for this purpose!


Clue of drain-hole location spotted in this photo.


How's that!!

Luckily you can get at the area by removing one small trim panel. Would suggest checking your Riv for a properly installed PRV and drain tube.




The tube fit is tight. It goes in the hole but just barely.. and you have to feed it almost straight in.
