2019 Puma 32BHKS Water Heater By-pass

[JKRocket]

Hello all, I recently acquired a 32 BHKS Puma and wondering if anyone knows whether or not this model already has a water heater by-pass kit installed. The water heater, while in the front storage bay and seemingly easy to get to, has a wall built around the back and one exposed side.

I've asked my sales person, but haven't gotten a response. But I'm not sure how much help the dealer is, because they told me the heater doesn't have an electric element in it, but it actually does.

If it doesn't come factory installed w/ a by-pass kit, has anyone put one in on this model?

Thanks,

-Jim K.

I would imagine that 'wall' is removable so you can access backside of water heater (Suburban)
Otherwise you would have to remove the step-up carpeted area next to bed on roadside which doesn't sound like it would be the way to do it......


Electric ON/Off switch in outside compartment ---lower left corner.
That will verify you have electric option (plus separate set of t-stats ---left side/black wires and element under the gas valve)
