Bypass water heater Rockwood ultra lite 5th wheel

I have a 2021 Rockwood ultra lite model 2621WS that I am trying to find the bypass for the water heater so that I can winterize the RV. I have looked all around the water heater inside the RV and can not find any valves to turn.

If you can look all around the water heater, take a pic of all the lines running to the back side of the heater and post it here.

You have a wet bay with valves.

See the picture in the first post of this thread.

You can also see it around the 2:30 mark in this video.

I found the answer. I have the Nautilus water system and when I turn the knobs to winterize it automatically bypasses the water heater when I winterize. Thanks for your help.

Two white valves, both on the back side of water heater. Turn both on or off depending on using unit or winterizing

Answer was already posted above. OP has a wet bay with valves. They are not behind the water heater.

Mhb... you must not have read the post directly before yours?
The OP has a Nautilus wet bay where the valves for the water heater are NOT located behind the water heater itself but rather on the Nautilus water control center. Not all R/Vs are built the same.
