Winterizing Atwood Water Heater

[facory]

How do you winterize a trailer that has an Atwood water heater? It does not have an anode rod. The manufacturer installed a water heater bypass kit. The heater has a plastic drain plug that is hard to get to. I'm thinking that has to be removed to drain the heater.

Bypass the water heater and remove the plastic plug. Leave the plug out for the winter, you can just leave it in the water heater compartment so it doesn't get lost.

You don't winterize water heater. Drain it, then turn on the water heater bypass. Then you can winterize the camper.
