Draining the fresh and grey water tanks

thanks, never seen such a protruding pipe. will go back and look

Think it was well tucked away when I got the van but after grappling with it a few times to attach an extension hose for emptying at home it now protrudes a bit more, as you mention
 
Drained the fresh water tank a week ago and today dealt with the delivery pipe to the tap. As it’s now comfortably minus C today, thought I’d best give it a go.

So, thanks to advice from @WelshGas I’ve disconnected the tap and blown the water out the tap back to the tank - nothing fancy, just cupped my mouth around the tap and blew - must sanitise before use!

On the first try I heard a gurgling and when I stopped blowing the air came back out the tap with more gurgling. Then I removed the fresh water filler cap and did the same - no gurgles and no air came back out. So I guess that pipe is 100% empty now.

For guidance, some photos below. You need to remove the cutlery drawer, which is easy - 2 pull catches as shown below.
