Your brake tanks should NOT have water in them. If they do, you are not draining them often enough. I would suggest you install (or have installed) the cable activated drains on your front tanks (yes I need to do that also) and run cables to a convenient location so you can make sure that water is not left in the tanks.

Even on an annual basis, I don't get much water in my tanks and of course most of it is in the wet tank.

Thanks for the info Michael. I've drained my front tanks 2-3 times per year and, like you said, I've found very little moisture in them. Installing the auto dumps would sure make it a lot nicer than getting under the Coach, especially because it is rather difficult and messy to open the top tank. It's on my long to do list, which seems to get longer all the time.
