Bought my 2010 Eagleridge (29') in January. Bad weather and the cold- I could not really play with it that much. We had a gorgeous day today and since the first trip is coming up at the end of April - I decided to relearn my new trailer before I left. Hooked up the water and was going to flush the air out of the lines. Turned on the cold water and air came out then the water. Turned on the hot water and nothing. checked the pop off valve on top of the hot water heater--again nothing. I figured that there had to be some valves turned off some where. I looked for about an hour before I unloaded all my storage compartment and found a "door". I took the screws out but the hole behind it is very small. Could not see all the water lines. I felt around in the dark and found 4 valves. All were turned off. 1 valve I could not turn on so I left it alone. The other 3 valves I turned on. Each time I turned a valve I crawled out and went inside to check. I finally had water. I let it run knowing there was air in the water heater. No air. Went to the water heater and checked the pop off valve-- NO WATER and no air came out. Crawled back in the storage area and started fumbleing with the valves again. Since the hole is small you cannot see which lines are which. I think I have them right but----. I knew about bypasses on the water heater but my other trailer had good access to the back of the water heater. Does anyone have a diagram ot the water lines? I looked in my owners manual but no diagram. Also the manual doesn't even mention this little area. The only thing it mentions on no water is to make sure the tank is full. Since this is my first "brand new trailer" this is one of the little things I have to learn. Now I wonder what other surprises I have waiting.
