2011 184 mpg - hello

[Chellee]

It took me forever to figure out how to post but hello everyone. Can someone please help me find my hot water heater bypass on a mpg 184. . . Just got my new used camper this past summer and now I need to winterize it. Thank you soooo much. I already drained hot water heater, watched countless videos, searched where is the bypass.... still nothing. I guess I know where it is, I don't know how to get to it.

Hi Chellee,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and to the family. We have a great bunch of folks here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge when needed.

Looking at a picture and floorplan of that unit I'm guessing you would need to look under the kitchen sink area.

Be sure and check out our Heartland Owners Club. Join us at a rally when you can and meet lots of the great folks here and make friends for a lifetime.

Enjoy the forum and your new to you unit.

Thank you so much. I will check tomorrow. Thank you for the warm welcome. I've been so excited with my lil travel trailer. I learned and looked and read and searched for a year and a half before purchasing. I have not regretted yet! I was only able to travel twice so far, but I seriously am thinking about trying dry camping and taking water jugs because I can't imagine having to wait for Spring to be able to go again

Unfortunately it was not under the sink. I talked to previous owners and he said due to the low point drain lines there is no need to run antifreeze in lines, just pour in sink traps. . . Honestly I don't think there is a way to get to the shut off/bypass valves.

The low point drains won't help your water pump avoid freeze damage, and the toilet and other fixtures could retain enough water to be damaged.
