Tankless water heater install

I have a FR3 32DS and am going to install a suburban tankless in the coach. I have been trying to find a good install video. I am looking to see how I access the water lines. A lot of videos show access to them from inside the coach. I don't believe I can do that with this coach. Any assistance grateful. Thanks.

I have a 2019 33DS, the water tank or water lines are accessible in the compartment outside just next to the water heater. The water pump is also accessible from the compartment to the left of the water heater. You may have to rewove the black plastic or cardboard shield that is held down by 4 screws
I assume your year FR3 is similar.. but what year is your coach so others who have the same model can respond

This is correct; behind the shield are the water lines. If you have any questions give 574-367-3300 a call.

Thanks a lot!

robo44 is talking about the compartment you reach into for winterizing where your water pump is and the valves to bypass the water heater. As robo44 says open the door and remove the 4 screws that hold the black panel in place.

I have done this it wasn’t too bad but you will need to be able to cut and attach PEX tubing. I had to buy cinch clamps and the tightening tool.
