Me again

From what I understand, the water tank pump was installed
differently in Canadian and US Models.  I think (and now I have
to go out and look because I am curious) my pump is external.  I
am in Canada, but that does not necessarily mean I have a
Canadian model.  Just follow the water line to the sink, and
look for a pump.  I believe the drain cap is a standard plastic
plumbing part.  There should also be a cap on the outflow from
the sink, under the van.  Read the archives for "grey" and
"gray" "water" for a discussion on holding tanks.

It is also possible that your tank is also not stock.
