2015 Clipper 17BH - Anyone know where the hot water tank bypass is located on this specific model? I can't seem to find it? Thanks!

Any tips and how to on winterizing the 17bh? New to the trailer game and last year the dealer winterized it for us but it seems like it would be pretty simple if someone could give me a quick run through.

Also I have a 2015 17BH. I keep a checklist that I will share.
Attached file. For reference, I used a sharpie and made a drawing on the heater to show where the valves should be in position. Also, went to ace and bought a plastic hose which attaches to my pump to get the anti-freeze in. Its a really tight space and I didn't want to spill stuff. So a hose, cap and funnel work fine.

Winterize

Good list. Don't forget the outside shower also.

Last year it took me about 30 min to flush the sys and fill with antifreeze. And it cost me about $25 in material. This year I only have to buy the antifreeze.

Way cheaper than the dealer.
