Disconnecting water to second bathroom

Hello all! We're new to RVing. We would like to take out the second bathroom in our RV to give our kids more room. We have an 8528bhok 2018 Flagstaff. We're unsure how to disconnect the water to the second bathroom permanently. We've asked the dealership but they won't give us any answers and said we need to bring it in. Has anyone else done this? Can we do it ourselves or do we have to take it in? Thank you in advance!

Find the waterline feeding the bath. Cut the line and install a shut off valve. you'll need two or three, toilet tub/shower, and sink. or just cut and install a cap.

Be careful, if you cap a waterline in the wall, how will you winterize?

Thank you! Is it easy to reinstall the undercarriage? Most of our lines are covered up by the undercarriage.

Cut an access 3 sided. 4th side is hinge facing the front. When done use duct/gorilla tape. If you are removing a wall there is no need to go under. Open up the wall, cut and cap the pipe and push it down. No need to open the bottom. If your leaving the wall just open the wall cap the pipe and seal the wall with a blank plate for future access is needed.

When he drains the low point the water will come out. When he pressures up if will fill. If it does not fill it will ack as a air brake. air will not freeze.

Thank you! We have capped off all water supplies and removed the wall. Now we just need to find a way to cover the holes in the floor from the toilet and sink. I appreciate the help!
