Replacing HWH hydraulic lines 2002 Itasca 34'

Replacing a hydraulic line on a 2002 Itasca 34' The line runs through basement wall and connects behind water heater. Is the only way to get to that is remove the water heater?
  • Thank you for the advice. I don't see any panels that I can remove to give me more room.
  • I don't know what Itasca 34 you have, but I used to have a Winnebago 34 DP. There was a panel on the back/bottom of the water heater that allowed enough room to change the check valve and heater element. I don't know about the hydraulic lines.
  • It connects to the slide cylinder. You can see it but not enough room to get to the fitting because of the water heater,
  • Many rigs have an access panel to get to area behind water heater.
    Does it connect to something or does it just pass through that area?
    You could attach string or cord to old line then use it to pull new hose in.
