Hello,I'm getting ready to winterize my 2017 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 27Q MH. Reading the operators guide it states there should be Two (2) water system drain valves and the water heater bypass valve behind a panel located underneath the range/oven. Panel removed and bypass valve is visible but do not see the water drain valves. Is by chance the manual wrong or am I over looking the valves. Any Minnie Winnie owners out there that can guide me. Thank You

Not familiar with your rig -- but in most rigs if you look under the rig you should be able to spot the downspouts of the low water drain valves ... valves themselves are often directly above the spouts.

You put the HWH in bypass and pull the plug on the bottom to drain it (after you relieve the pressure first with the T&P valve on the top.

KSG is right. Start looking under your coach. The drain tubes will be sticking down somewhere... Once you find them, look above that area (can be tough to access) to find the hidden valves.

We have a 2015 Itasca Spirt 27Q. I'll have to check for sure, but yes the buy pass and drain valves are be hind that panel.It's a hassle to me to have to remove those 4 screws to remove that panel to get to those valves, so I put magnetic cupboard door holders on that panel. That was about a year ago and it has never fallen off/open.DustyDon't forget the tank drain under the bed.There are NO plugs in/on the drain lines. Just the valves.

Some times they put one in the bathroom under the sink then under the floor mine has the cutout but no drain. But i have seen some with only one near the water tank and water pump, near the water tank drain.
