Thanks, Jato.
No problem since I do not winterize here in Florida....assume these valves are already in the correct position. Blissful

I did the same as keith and dar, removed the screws holding the plywood down, put them in the lower drawer. I also took a shop vac and vacuumed all the saw dust and loose screws left there, the plywood is not going anywhere when you are setting on the couch/dinette area, and it gives you instant access if needed.

OK. Kind of a dumb question. My dealer did my winterization last Fall and evn though I tried to take good notes I think I missed something. I've looked at my hot water valves and I'm just not sure I know what I'm looking at. They seem to be OK but I'm just not sure. I've hooked up shore water and I have water coming out of the hot water faucets in both the sink and shower. Is it safe to assume that the hot water tank is full and OK to turn on the water heater?

NO IT IS NOT SAFE TO ASSUME THAT THE HOT WATER TANK IS FULL. I did this when I got mine last spring, even had water coming out when the hot water handles were turned on. I turned the propane on, it lit, and my element was toast. Replaced it for twenty bucks or so.
To check your valves, you will have to either cut a hole in your plywood under your queen bed to access OR as others above have done, take the screws out and lift both your mattress and plywood up. On the right side you will see your hot water tank and the 3 'mystery valves.' The handles on the hot and cold lines should have their handles parallel to the water lines. There is another line that runs between these two that handle should be perpendicular to the line. Make sure your handles are in this position before firing up the propane or hooking into 110. |

That's what I did the first week I had my 171. Haven't had the screws back in since. |
