    Water heater bypass

    I've always used the compressed air method to winterize plus RV antifreeze in the peas and tanks. However, the instructions say turn the valves to bypass the water heater but it never says what to do after you blow out all the water. Do you bypass the water heater or leave it until spring? Does...

    Atwood water heater

    When I took my Atwood water heater out of my 2401W to have a leak fixed, I noticed that around the mounting plate there are slots along the edge of the plate. It seems to me that these would allow water to enter the coach and cause rot. The wood all around the opening was rotted and I had to...

    Winterizing GSWH-2 Tankless Water Heater

    My experience is with a 6gal water heater which you have to isolate from the hot water system and drain for winterization. If I am reading the manual for the GSWH-2 correctly, all I have to do is leave it in line and flush the system with non-tox at every hot faucet. Am I right?
