By- Pass

[Barbaralynn1]

We just bought a new 2018 Coachmen Freelancer 27QB. Can someone tell me where the water heater by-pass valves are? Also where is the plug to drain the water tank? Thanks

If you have a Suburban tank type water heater, then these threads may help:

Assuming when you say drain the water tank, you are meaning the water heater tank:

The Suburban brand uses the anode rod as the drain plug as per the pic below:





If you have an Atwood brand tank type water heater, then the drain plug is a nylon/plastic plug, as per this pic below"

Good post, that surely answers that question.
