Hello all,
In preparation for winterizing later this fall I want to make sure I understand the procedure. I have printed out the steps from this website as described by some kind sole. Everything is clear until I get to the part about locating a 2.5 foot tube and valve on the intake side of the pump for introducing anti-freeze to the system. I have a 2012 HRE 177. I removed the access panel in the 'basement' (the rear storage area) and can see the three valves for isolating the water heater but I couldn't see the above described tube for anti-freeze. The access panel is really pretty small and I wasn't really able to see the compartment very well. I felt around a bit but didn't find a loose tube. Am I going to have to access this area from above by removing the mattress and plywood cover?
As always, thanks in advance.

Just remove the panel near the floor directly BENEATH THE SINK and find the little piece of hose going nowhere from a valve on the intake line, assuming the HRE is the same as the other 177s.
