Hi everyone..We bought this 2019 GD Imagine XLS 21BHE in mid October 2019.The dealer we bought it from winterized it as we were going to put it in storage November1st.Now we want to de-winterize it but have no idea where the water heater bypass is.The owners manual is no help.I have looked everywhere I could think of to find it to no avail.Also can not find the winterization valve for future reference.Any help I can get will be deeply appreciated..Thank you

Welcome to our owners technical forum !
I do not have an Imagine, but I understand that the valves you are looking for are behind the water heater.

Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, we have nothing to gain should you choose to purchase a product or engage a service we discuss on this forum.

Howard,
Thank you. Your XLS looks to be different from my Imagine 2600RB but since your hot water tank is at the right rear of the trailer the access to the hot water tank must be either under the bunk beds or on the left side of the slide out kitchen. Look for a removable panel. I do not own this rig so this would be all I have to offer.

You may have to remove the lower bunk mattress along with the wood support under the mattress , or just a piece of this located at the rear wall. Under this you will have access to the water heater.

I want to thank you all for the responses to my question and for the welcome to this great forum.The bypass was indeed behind a panel on the left side of the outdoor kitchen.2 screws and the panel comes off and there it is.Special thanks to Midwest Camper (Jim) for getting me to look there again.I overlooked it yesterday but indeed it s there.So thanks once again to everyone who responded.Stay safe everyone!!

The tube that you use to pull in the antifreeze, is that in the bypass area as well? Or perhaps behind the removable drawers? (Though that seems pretty cramped back there)
