I had a 26 HE. The water heater bypass valve is under the kitchen sink on your left. There is a small access panel held in place by 4 screws. Behind it is a valve that should be labeled. This model is one that bypasses with a single valve (many use 3 valves). It may have been left in the bypass position when the unit was winterized or it may have been returned to the normal position. Don’t forget to put the drain plug back in the tank from outside (though it also may have been put back after draining for winter storage). In any event be certain you don’t turn the heater on until you are absolutely certain the tank is full of water. The best way to do this is by having the water turned on in the coach (either with the pump or city water) and lift the pressure release lever on the brass outlet near the top of the heater outside the coach until water flows out. It sounds harder than it is. You should be good to go then. Good luck.
