hot water tank bypass and wheels

Great forum, have gotten great responses to my questions.
I have a 2014 keystone cougar 333MKS and wondering if there is a hot water tank bypass on these units.
Also, tried removing the dust covers off the wheels to see if they are greasable and cant get the covers off. They turn slightly but wont come off. Is there anything there to grease the wheel bearings?

Thanks in advance.

Most of us use the hatch in the cabinet inside the front door..

As for greasing the wheel bearings I don't recommend using the bearing buddy fittings... Most likely ruin your brakes and/or blow a seal..
If you're determined to go that away the center cover pops out..

X2. The panel inside your basement unscrews and can be removed to get to your hot water tank. There is a single bypass lever there. I cut a hole with a jigsaw in that panel and attached an access door from Home Depot so that I can access the bypass without taking the panel off all the time. Did the same thing on the opposite side of the trailer to get to the water pump. The center of the dust covers pop out to reveal the zerk fitting on the bearing. I just added 4 pumps of grease to mine. You need to do it SLOWLY. Lippert recommends adding 3-4 shots every 4 months with heavy use and hand re packing once a year.

I'm going to side with Javi on this point. I make it a point to never, but never use the grease zerk. And for reasons Javi listed.
