Holiday Rambler 35k Water Sanitation

[rodss67]

I have a 2020 HR 35k. Read the manual on disenfecting the water system and went to bypass the hot water tank as shown and the loose representation of what it should look like did me no good as I could not find anything that resembles it. My question is how do I bypass it and how do I relight the pilot after cleaning the water system. Unfortunately I did not have any papers on the hot water heater. Trying to get someone at the rv dealer is like pulling teeth.

Thanks in advance

I'd be very surprised if a coach that new had a pilot ignition on the water heater.

Most new rigs have self ignition.

Thanks for the reply. I just went back and read the manual and you are correct. I am down to trying to find the cold, hot and bypass valve that they say is on the back of the water heater. I guess it could be behind a panel on the inside?

I have a 2020 Bounder, which comes down the same assembly line. Mine is in the kitchen, under the silverware drawer. There is a very shallow cabinet down there. (Which lines up "right behind the water heater", but that is SO misleading!)

It's a simple 90-degree turn to shut off. So much better than the old three valve thing. Looks like this:



Good luck!

Thank you for the reply and photo.Mine was actually behind the left side of the kitchen sink.
