On my 171, the bypass valves are located under a plywood panel, under the mattress.  There were a couple screws holding it down, but they were removed and thrown away long ago as the plywood panel stays in place without them.

Essentially, I remove the sheets/pillows/bedding from the bed, raise the blinds out of the way, lift up the mattress where its accessible in the hallway, sit down on the plywood base under the mattress, rest the mattress on my shoulders, move the plywood access panel out of the way, then turn all three bypass valves.

I don't have a 171, I have a 178, but so far I'm only aware of two methods of access. 1) Inside the curb side (water heater) bay storage is an access panel with 4 screws. 2) Lift the mattress and pull the plywood panel up. There are plenty of folks in here with 171s, I'm sure...if you have the time, one will be along shortly and tell you exactly how to get to it. Good luck! Smile]]> Sun, 12 Oct 2014 14:00:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5417&PID=52694#52694 water heater bypass : Have a 2015 171 model.

Have a 2015 171 model. Going to winterize soon and can't find a bypass for the hot water heater. Instruction book with camper no use.  Any help on this one?]]> Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:12:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5417&PID=52686#52686
