Where's the Bypass?
I own a 2014 fr3 25ds class A ,I'm winterizing the water lines . However I cannot find the bypass valve for the hot water tank..I already drained all the water through the low points access and switched the valve to suck in the anti freeze but the owner manual says to shut the bypass valve and doesnt give me a clue where to find it,I checked under the main sink and in the access portals on the side. Anyone have an idea where it is?

On our, admittedly very different RV, it's right next to the WH in the storage bay.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I have moved your thread here to the Class A forum from the "Test Your Changes" forum it was originally posted in. That forum is not monitored.
Best of luck

Two most common bypass points are the wet bay near the city water connections... And the backside (indoor side) of the water heater.
other locations listed above plus under the sink.. In short. They sometimes play the old "Where can we hide it" game.
If all else fails, follow the COLD WATER inlet pipe back toward the pump till you find a valve.

Don't forget to drain the Hot Water Heater. White screw in plug on the outside
