Question:

I bought my trailer used and it doesn’t have a visible relief valve. I have one ordered and on the way. In the mean time how do I relieve it without one?

We can't recommend attempting to relieve a water tank pressure without a valve like the Camco RV Water Heater Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve - 1/2" Valve w/ 4" Probe, part # CAM10423. The water pressure would most likely be somewhere around 150 psi and very hot.
