Hot water bypass and "un-wintering "
So this is my first spring trip with this 2017 303RLS. The dealer winterized it and I'm heading out on our first trip of the year. I'll drain everything when I get set up at the campground. But of all these knobs which is the hot water bypass? Don't want to flush the antifreeze into the hot water tank. The knobs are all set to winterize at this time.
Thanks."Never give up, Never slow down, Never grow old, Never ever die young"

You will see a cold line (blue) going in to the WH, and a red line coming out. Each of those has a valve. You will also see a line that runs between them and it has a valve also..this is the bypass line. When you are bypassing the WH, the bypass valve will be in line with the bypass line (open), and both CW and HW valves will be off (valves perpendicular to line), preventing any water from entering the WH. When you are NOT in bypass, HW and CW are open (inline with line), and bypass is closed (valve perpendicular to line).

For Nautilus P1 it is the red handle. If you drain at the low points first you should be good. We dewinterized this way and had no problem with hot water. Good luck!

Captain - trust you have the Nautilus P1 system......attached is the P1 handle routing guide which states the RED handle is WH bypass valve and in "UP" position water flows to WH and in "horizontal" orientation water does not flow to WH: http://www.bandbmolders.com/files/Na...e_Position.pdf
Is this the information you needed ?
