    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.rpod-owners.com/member_profile.asp?PF=10615" rel="nofollow">DSBryant</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 14421<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 27 Feb 2021 at 8:05am<br /><br />On our 2020 196, I found the Hot Water Heater by removing the Fuse Box assembly located under the fridge.&nbsp; It was easier to remove the plastic access door first, then unscrew the 4 bolts.&nbsp; Move the Fuse Panel ass'y carefully to one side.&nbsp; LOTS of wires here, so don't force anything!<div>Using a flashlight, look inside the space a bit to the right and voila, there is the front end of your Hot Water Heater.&nbsp; There are several models of Hot Water Heaters used on the rPods.&nbsp; Our particular model doesn't have a third bypass hose, but instead uses special valves to bypass the Hot Water Heater.&nbsp; The photo below demonstrates our HWH, and the proper valve locations for normal use and for Winterizing.&nbsp;<img src="uploads/10615/2020%20196%20Hot%20Water%20Heater%20Valves.png" height="478" width="662" border="0" /></div><div><br></div><div>If you need to access the Water Pump, although some models require you to move the mattress and unscrew the plywood base, not so the case on our 196.&nbsp; Outside the trailer, on the left towards the front is the access door that leads to the storage area.&nbsp; I had to crawl partially inside and look to the right to see the access panel held tight with 4 wood screws.&nbsp; Remove the panel and there is your Water Pump. This is where you insert the included vinyl hose into a jug of RV Safe Anti-Freeze and turn the valve so that the Water Pump pulls from the jug of Anti-Freeze instead of pulling from the Fresh Water Tank.&nbsp; You'll need to do this if you live in a part of the country where you need to Winterize your camper.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps someone . . .</div><div><br></div><div>Happy Camping!</div>]]>
