    Open the lower door beneath your sink. It will be located near the floor and sometimes more over to the right under the stove/heater furnace.
  • Our 94 Minnie didn't have a by-pass or shutoff. When comes time to winterize, I'd remove drain plug and use air to blow lines out.
  • bypass is easy to install but will probably be a next year thing. Just remember not to use HIGH pressure on the water lines. As I said 40-50 lbs is fine
  • Thank you for the quick response. I pulled all of the drawers and can not find the shut off , so maybe they did not put one on the RV. It just seems like all other RV have a shut off valve to winterize them. I guess I will hope just blowing out the water will work.
  • The bypass is usually located behind the water heater. You may have to remove a drawer or something to access.

    You should have a drain on the outside to drain the HW tank and yes you can just drain the HW tank replace plug and use 40-50 lbs air pressure to blow out all the lines. Remember the water filter if installed. Then remove the HW plug one more time to get rid of any accumulated water. Theoretically the removal of the plug is not necessary but you will sleep easier
