So being new to this I not sure about valve locations and positions...There is a small valve that looks like it isolates the antifreeze line, then there is a larger valve with hot and cold water lines attached to it, the small one has a single handle that turns about a 1/4 turn. the larger is similar to a residential valve under the sink. oval and turns several turns, this one should be aligned with the lines right???? in other words the "points" of the oval handle in line with the hot and cold lines.....
That was the very same scenario I found myself in as a first time buyer of a TT in Wisconsin. Bought it in 'Spring'. Which is the first clue that the bypass is turned on.:W
If you are close to a dealership bring it down and say you want to make an appointment for service for no water, adding you are a new RV'ers.
What happens next you will find funny later on. The 'first' thing the Service Manager does is sends a service guy out to your RV, he goes in checks your valves and turns your bypass off! Voila water.:B
They see SOOO many of new RV'ers finding themselves in this position they said they are usually 99% sure it's the bypass valves and just nip it in the bud by sending the guy out to check.....and they don't charge you.
Good Luck. And once you find out the position for on and off for the couple of lines you have to turn knobs for, put some red tape on each to indicate off so you know which way turn them come winter.:W
