I don’t know where my hot water heater might be but I do know where my water heater is. If the water was already hot it wouldn’t need to be heated.

I'm not sure if you found your Hot Water Heater or not. They will either be under the bed, or in our case, you have to remove either the Vacuum Cleaner panel and remove the Vacuum unit - OR if you don't have a Vacuum Cleaner, you may need to remove the Fuse Panel assembly. On our unit, that's where I found our hot water heater. In the cavity under the fridge, behind one of the two panels.
Good luck!

LOL we thought the same thing about the vacuum. Then we used it (after fixing it) and love it!

Our first trip, I found that the drain for the kitchen sink was likewise not properly tightened and it leaked into the drawers beneath. It practically ruined two brand-new cookbooks. I was not happy. I was able to dry them out, but the pages were wrinkled up and since I don't have a book press, I have no real way to flatten them. Ours is too early for a vacuum. Personally, I don't see that a built-in vacuum would be useful in a trailer the size of an RPod. I could see it in a larger unit though.

Ok thanks for the info. That was what i needed. So far this trip I have done nothing but fix the unit. The kitchen sink drained into the floor. The vacuum was never connected. The bathroom sink was completely clogged.
I'm tired! I need to go home to rest!

Yep that is my preferred way but I assume the water heater is bypassed on this new trailer as it came winterized.

Pods are notorious for under the bed bypasses, some modify the plywood for easier access, me I just use compressed air and leave the bypass alone.

Ah thanks for that repost. I didn't bother to dissemble the bed because I thought no way they would but it under there... LOL
Thanks again. I searched and could not find anything. Sorry for the repeat question. I hate people like me that can't use search properly...
