2021 2200BH hot water bypass

Where is the hot water bypass on this model? I am a first time RV'er. I have looked everywhere.

Bypass

Thanks for helping me. I took off both panels under the tub and I saw nothing that looks like that. I was definitely behind the wh. It is tight under there, but I see no valves at all. I found a pull switch on the water pump. Do you know what that is for? I am trying to winterize my camper. Thanks again.

Follow the pipes. The bypass will be VERY close. Have no idea what you mean by "Pull Switch" on the WP. Pictures would help.

Under the tub? Your water heater isn’t under the tub. I have a similar bunkhouse model. Remove the lower bunk mattress and lift the 1/4” plywood sheet (mine is in two long pieces and the narrow section had two screws holding it down). Lift that and the WH is clearly visible and easily accessible at the rear of the space. When you lift the plywood base you might be surprised to discover a big empty area that begs to be repurposed into additional storage

KDav, you've gotten petty good advice here. I simply cannot imagine the bypass not being adjacent to the WH. If it wasn't then you'd have long stretches of unprotected pipe...no anti-freeze in those pipes.

2021 2200BH Heater

Sorry to be so needy. But I can't seem to get help anywhere else but here. How do you turn on the regular heat? Is that the heater outside behind the refrigerator? I know where the thermostat is, but how do u start it up?

We were all new once, no apologies needed.

If the propane is turned on, just turn the thermostat to heat and set the temp. The furnace should light by itself. You do need a good battery or plugged into shore power.

like chuckster said. Heat-set temp. It will start by its self.

Water heater bypass is under back panel board of bottom bunk. Remove mattress and slide back board forward and water heater and bypass valve is there. Not even any screws to remove, easy peasy
