Has anyone relocated the water heater bypass valves to a more accessible area. Ia the pex a standard 1/2" pex or do RV builders us an off size? Would appreciate any input text or pictures. Thanks, don

I never did on my elkridge, but there doesnt seem to be a reason you couldnt, other than the re-doing the plumbing. I know on mine it was on the back side of the water heater itself. Now on the big horns its plumbed into the UDC. Its all 1/2 inch sized.

Can be done
Get a shopping list of shark bite fittings and amount of pex you will need and plumb away lol
I changed the factory plastic shut off valves out in my old trailer for the nice solid shark bite ball valves
