How do you by-pass the hot h20 heater in a 2000 U295? There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this part of winterization.
Thanks,

What's a hot h20 heater? Is this an Atwood type water heater or AquaHot?
(On edit)...Never mind, I got it.
You have to have a tank by-pass valve usually found behind the water heater accessible from the main storage compartment port hole.
Thanks, will try to find. Josh

If there is not one installed you would generally have to pull the water heater to install a bypass kit. You could jury rig a by pass by simply disconnecting the "cold in" and the "hot out" lines and connecting them together thereby bypassing the waterheater. Not sure about your 2000 installation but on my 1995 it is very tight behind the water heater. Also some water heaters have a thermal tempering valve which complicates the bypass.
good luck,
Ya...That system will not work in a Foretravel. There's not enough room in back of the water heater to allow for those types of by-pass valves.
It is tight and on mine I opted to plumb my own bypass due to the space constraints and the temperature conditioning valve. Hopefully now I have the best bypass option possible, HEAD SOUTH 1500 miles!
Great! I hope to have that option in just a few more years...
