I have a 2012 Georgetown 378 motor home. I took it out to try it out and I need to know how do I get water into the water heate? I have not be able to find the bypass switch.
Bypass switch?
To get the WH to heat you either have to be plugged into 120VAC and go outside to turn it on, or you need to turn on the propane and light it by turning the inside switch on. Of course you must have the RV also connected to a water source or you run the risk of burning up the tank. Didn't the dealer show you how to use the systems at PDI?
didn't the dealer's PDI show you where it was and what to do?
sounds like a pretty lousy PDI if they don't even show you where the bypass valve is and how to fill the WH.
God knows what else they failed to do. that's pretty basic PDI info.

NO the dealer did not show me. They did a basic walk through and nothing more. I found nothing on the back of the wqater heater no switch, no nobs nothing.
Our setup is different in that it has just one valve that can be rotated a 1/4 turn. I've never actually seen it because you have to feel for it but it is there.

Here's the key to the forest! I had the same problem 1st night out. The only access I know of to a wtr htr in 378 is through a 3" white screwed plug just under the access door. Unscrew it reach up in the the back of the heater and your'll soon realize which is the bypass valve. Inlet at bottom, outlet at top and bypass in the middle all towards front of coach. Close it, make sure other two are open, it water will now fill heater and you can start gas or electric.
