Can't find my Winterization Valve in 2500RL
First time winterizing my 2500RL. Drained the low points and water heater. Used low pressure compressed air to blow any remaining water out of all the faucets and toilet.
I removed the kitchen drawers and moved the water valves into their winterizing positions and began looking for the winterization valve and RV antifreeze pickup tube. Nothing in sight.
I checked the procedure showing where the valve is supposed to be. Supposedly right there next to the water valves and water heater. Not mine. Anyone have ideas on this?

Is the water pump located in the hookup center in the pass-through? If so, you need to take the front panel off to access the winterization valve and pickup hose.

I am not 100% sure where the pump is located, however, when I hear it running it sounds like it is at the hookup center. I will check it out.
Thanks

You have to remove the 8 screws on the hookup center in the pass thru. There you will see the winterization line as well as the bypass valve. Looking to cut a hole in my cover and mount the bypass to have access without removing the panel to winterize. Hope this helps

I cut a section out of the front panel for permanent access to the valve & hose.

Just got the winterization with anti-freeze done for the first time. Not really a big deal, but whoever at GD that thought to bury that winterization valve and pickup tube behind that panel should be shot. Why in the world would you do that for a procedure you will likely perform at least once a year? That is deserves and Engineer's Razzy Award. It's one of those, "What were they thinking?" moments.
