Rut Roh....Water heater bypass valve kaput?
So went to winterize this afternoon and wouldn't ya know it, the water heater bypass valve wasn't bypassing cuz antifreeze was going into heater! UGH! Doing some research, it's one of those Thetford 9...

Hike, sorry for the late reply as I tore apart all the access panels and id remove the cold water line and did not find a valve you mentioned, just a fitting the line connects to which also crews into the tank. Course the dang thing is on back side of heater, so could not get a real good looksie . Sad part is, I'm kinda under the gun to get things done as it's supposed to be going into storage this Fri. At the very least, I did see where Camco markets a product where you disconnect both lines at water heater, attached the bypass line to each water line and......WOHLAA, a temp bypass.
