Can't find water heater bypass valve on Sportcoach 404rb

Attempting to winterize my Sportcoach 404rb, and for the life of me I can't find the water heater bypass valves. This has always been straightforward in my other 2 prior RVs but no luck on my 404rb.

Hopefully you've found it by now. In my Wildcat I finally found it by sticking my head in the under-sink cabinet and looking back in the corner. Yours may not be there, but just saying...

None of the generic manuals tell you where it's located.

They may be behind or under a false panel.

Get out your Robson #2 bit and go hunting.

Mine units are under the fridge behind a false panel held on with 2 square drive screws.

That's is interesting, I had no idea there was room for the water heater to be placed under the shower.

At any rate glad you found them.

got a 2012 solera can't find the hot water by-pass valves either. We also have a rear water sprayer and can't find where the water supply valve is. Is there anybody out there who can help me out.

You didn't tell us make/model/year of your rig, but it could be the power cord for your water heaters electric element OR it could be the power cord for your fridge's electric element.
