Is there a question? Did I miss something?

[HDStan]

What is the purpose of the water lines and valves at the bottom of the first picture?
What is the water connections purpose in the upper rof second picture?( has black cap on it)

[shorthorn]

Water lines with valves... blue and red are your low point drains.

Connection in top right with cap is winterize connection. Screw one end of the hose coiled in bottom left of 1st pic on there, put other end in gallon of anti-freeze... run water pump and u get anti-freeze throughout the unit. Don't forget to bypass the water heater first!

[HDStan]

Thanks for the quick reply. How do you bypass the water heater?

[shorthorn]

Just behind the pictures water panel is a carpeted panel on an angle (inside the storage compartment to the right) remove 4 screws and the valves are back there on the backside of the water heater

[HDStan]

Thanks. OK I'll check those out and if I have any questions I'll pick up this thread again. I appreciate your help. Have a great day .

One more question. What is the purpose of bypassing the water heater?

so as to not fill the water heater with A/F

[HDStan]

Yeah I understand that but would get damaged if it did have antifreeze in it ?

[EXGMTech]

the electrode might not like it...and why waste 6 gal of A/F?

[shorthorn]

No... you want to drain the water heater... antifreeze smells really bad when heated. We pull out the drain plug on the water heater let it drain and leave the cap loose over winter. Water heater is the small door next to the compartment with the water valves

I have the same 5r. Mine is a 2017. The bypass is right there in the water compartment just left and below the other water valves. Take a pic if the entire Water compartment and repost. I'd post mine but I'm out of town.

Really? They must have changed it since my 2016! That's a nice upgrade!

I see I made a mistake, I was bouncing back and forth on this thread and one for the 336TSIK, which is what I have. Sorry for that but you water closet sure looked identical to mine.
