Access to Aux Heater

I have a 2008 Newmar Kountry Star 3910. My heater hoses need replacing.

Right after the hoses leave the block they have two "T's" that have additional hoses going up to the Aux Heater under the clothes washer. (Newmar was no help even identifying where the heater was located).

Thank God for the iRV2 forum, if not for your support Newmar would still have me looking at my Hot Water Heater.

My question is access to the Aux Heater. I have both a clothes washer and dryer.

My assumption is at least the clothes washer needs to be removed.
Can it be removed without removing the top mounted dryer???

Any help with that removal would be greatly appreciated.

Is your dryer mounted on its own shelf, if not than would be attached to the washer, like in your house.
if it is on a shelf may still have a problem trying to get washer out because of shelf.
If you can take the face of cabinet doors off may make it easier to do.
With a flashlight can you see hose attachments and is there room to work in replacement.

The dryer is on it's own shelf so further investigation on clearance will be required once I get it back from Freightliner, you know those lovely electric leveling jacks...again...

Thanks for your help and I'll let you know how I make out...

Can't understand how or why Newmar would put a heater with both heater hose connections and a two speed motor in an area without proper access...I'm still a rookie but common sense is common sense...lol
