Alpine wet bay.

We did get the 2021 Alpine 3700FL and I have a question about the wet bay and parts. We only got a very few manuals with it and I realize that owner's manuals are very generic. The wet bay has few labels and has what appear to be 2 fresh water inlets/hose receptacles. They are on the forward/left side as viewed. On the right/rear are 2 black tank flush connections. The lower connection of the left appears to be the "standard" fresh water connector and there is a valve labeled city water or tank fill. The hose connector on the left/forward side above has no label and is the same type as the "lower" one. Both black connectors are on the right side. I didn't take a picture but am heading down in a couple days and will take one if necessary. Black tank connectors also had no labels but I did figure out which connector went to which tank. PO had also put on short flex hose pigtails for the black.

When we set up the water acted normally connected to the lower left connector however a leak developed from the water heater so all water operation ceased. Water heater is being replaced when I go back down Wednesday. Thanks for any guidance.

The second (upper) hose connection is your winterizing port. You connect a short section of hose with the other end in a jug of antifreeze and turn the winterize valve and then the onboard pump will suck up the pink juice.

Thanks I'm going to get out the label maker and get busy. Will be helpful when I have a helper so they know what I'm talking about. One of the POs removed those labels.

I have the same year and model and mine has a on demand water heater and pretty sure none came with the traditional water heaters. For the fresh water tank there is only the city water connection no gravity fill. I have had great luck with my On Demand water heater although many have not. If the circulation pump is leaking somewhere in this forum is the part # to rebuild that part.

The PO didn't winterize in spite of his claims. Water heater was replaced with like kind and workin g good. Just forgeries I'm going to take the old one apart and see what broke. It may end up in the garbage anyway but we'll see.
