Anyone know if there’s a bypass valve in the 2020 195 rPod and where it’s located? We had our trailer winterized in the fall and this is our first trip out. We’re not getting hot water into the heater although we have water coming out of both sides of the tap so the tank is full. We have electricity so we turned the on/off toggle to ON inside the water heater panel on the rear of the rPod and reinserted the anode rod as well. We checked under both sinks and can’t find a bypass switch there or anywhere. We’ve also checked YouTube but none of the videos are on our model. Can you help???

Make sure the valves in the front of the HWT are in right position, also check the valve by the pump is in summer mode.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Although I have a 195, I haven't done that myself yet. I know the valves are under the fridge, I've taken off the panel where the doggy bowl is, and seen them. That's all I know at the moment cause my dealer dewinterized it for me. But just because you have water coming out of the hot side, does NOT mean you have hot water in the tank. If you are not hooked up to city water supply, turn on the water pump till it pressurizes, or if you are hooked up to city water, then go pull the pressure release on the h/w tank and see if water squirts out. If it doesn't squirt, you have no water in the tank. Hopefully you do or you might have burned out the electrical element.

Also if you have the vacuum in the 195, it’s very easy access to the water heater bypass. Just unscrew the 4 slip screws hold the vacuum in and aha there it is!
