Georgetown Antifreeze valve
Can someone help me? We have a 2012 Forrest River Georgetown. Trying to figure out where the anti freeze valve is so we can turn it and have water. The fresh water tank is full and you can here the pump. I read in a very old post that the valve is probably still in the winter position. Just don't know where that is at. Any help will be appreciated. CIndy

This attachment has good pictures of the valves for winterizing. Just put them in the opposite positions of the instructions and you should be good to go.

We noticed the 2 hoses both had a cap. Only one of ours has a cap. Could that be the problem? Maybe I have to make a run to the RV dealer. The clear cylinder is half full of anti freeze. Do we need to do anything with that? We didn't find a valve to switch on and off by the water pump itself. I'm sure this is such a simple thing if you know what you're doing. We're to ladies who are learning as we go. Really appreciate your help. CIndy

To see if that is your problem, just put your thumb over the end and try it. If it works you know the problem.

Thanks to all who helped. You all had a piece of the puzzle. The valve was right there in the lower right hand corner. Put a finger over the plug and had water coming out of the faucet. Now have to go to the RV store. You guys are awesome! Sure I'll have more questions in the future. Cindy

Okay, I'm back again. We got the water running. Got rid of all the pink and the toilet flushed just fine. Our water tank is full as is our propane tank. I turned the hot water heater switch on, on the control panel and it fired right up. A minute or so later it went off. Now we can't get it to fire up again. Any suggestions my friends?

May be air in the propane line......turn off the WH, and try to run your stove for a bit - that would pull the propane fastest (at least, it did when we had a similiar problem) and then retry the WH.

hot water tank
I had the same problem this spring when I tried ours on electric, if you can clean end of your ignitor with a green scratch it will clean it then try lighting it again.

Just in case.
The water heater also works on shore and generator power.
HOPEFULLY the switch for elec was OFF if the tank was empty when you plugged into shore power.
The switch is in the lower right corner of the water heater.

hot water tank
Sorry I mend to say starting on propane. Make sure you have water in your hot water tank before starting on elect or propane, run your faucet on the hot water side till you get all the air out and you have a nice steady flow of water then you know your hot water tank is filled. hope that helps.
