Heater access mod. Plastic latch broke, installed finder nut ans know 8/32 thread. No problems now. I'm also going to move electric switch inside the control panel with the slide control and tank sensors.

There is a false wall in the cabinet below the sink. All 3 valves are behind it. It's only held in by two screws that go into the floor. Remove the closest screw and just loosen to back one. This will allow you to slide the panel open and reach the valves. It's definitely tight quarters but you can manage.

Thanks Bearcat
First time de-winterizing and my dealer is none to helpful (gets a little agitated with newbies)
I've never used my fresh water tank but apparently I need to fill it to flush the system? If so I'll have to take a separate hose to the campground won't I? Sorry for all the questions.
Any help is appreciated.
