I have added camper antifreeze for the winter.  However, I coud not find a turnorr switch for the water heater in the outside compartment.  I open the valve to let the remaining water out after I added the antifreeze.   If there is a switch, I can't find it.

Somewhere on here is a picture showing the outside switch.  I couldn't find it.  But, the switch in the heater compartment is hidden behind something.  It is pretty hard to see.  Its a small rocker switch.

I did a bunch of searching in my pictures.  The arrow shows the switch location.

One other question.  Assuming I find the switch would you know if I can turn the heat on using propane without burning out the water heater, assuming I emptied the water with the on/off valve.
 
Thanks again

There is another toggle switch inside next to the water pump.That switch turns on the gas portion of the water heater. Make sure you dont turn that on. The furnace is just fine to use without water in the hot water heater.

Is this switch inside the camper underneath the kitchen sink?

Terry, I can't see anything.  Instead of a picture, I have a small blue square with a question mark inside it.  Don't know if it's because I'm on a Mac at the moment.  Will try my PC later and see if the pic shows up.

Hmmm.  The pics show up on the PC.  Must have been an "Apple" problem.
