Hot water heater bypass? Coachmen Apex

Can anyone tell me if the Apex 300bhs has a hot water heater bypass and if so where it might be?

I'm guessing it is under the fridge but I haven't opened the panel yet to check.
I finally found the water pump but don't see any kind of bypass there so I'm hoping it's closer to the actual water heater.

Thanks
New camper=lots of new questions.
  • Yep. My wife made me trek outside once again so I opened it up. It's there, under the fridge.

    Thanks

    Coachmen installs the water heater in Freedom Express models with a bypass so I'd have to believe they do the same with their Apex series. Water heater bypass is always at the water heater, has nothing to do with the pump.

    Not familiar with that particular model, but most often the by-pass valves will be right at the back of the water heater...accessed from the inside behind a panel, a drawer, or cabinet door..

    Find this on the outside and then go inside and access the back of your water heater.



    Yep. That would put it where I'm guessing. Just need to open the panel to check. Too lazy to do it now. Hoping someone can confirm for me online.
