When dry camping I fill the fresh water tank when arriving at our non serviced provincial parks. On a normal stay we might only use about half of the water in the tank. When leaving , I open the drain hoping to have it emptied by the time I get home. After a forty five minute trip, it is still running out. I can park it ( seems empty) and if I were to move it the next day there would be more draining ( guage shows empty) Any suggestions?

You will have to figure out the layout of your tank and drain.
I am going to guess that most have the drain at one end or the other so you can possibly tilt the trailer to place the drain at the lowest point (what I did with our old unit to ensure the most drainage....I could see the tank under the bed lol)
Since the tanks I have seen are a large rectangular box I can see how they will hold a lot of water if the drain is not the lowest point.

I'm wondering if the tank supports have shifted on the door side. The drain is typically closer to the off-door-side and it sounds like the water is at the other end of the tank.
The drain is usually teed into the feed line going to the tank. Have you ever run the pump dry, seeming like you're out of fresh water when there was still water that later drained out?
