Newbie question on dewinterizing

Hi....I bought a 2015 Vegas 24.1 late last fall. I had a tech winterize it. Where can I find instruction on dewinterizing? Checked You Tube, and it was only semi-helpful. Thanks for your consideration.

Do you have the owners manual?
If not, then someone that has the same model/year if you can find.
Generally, there are at least three valves you need to switch.
One at the water pump (so the water pump will suck water from a bucket or winterizing port and not from the water tank) and two at the water heater (bypass).
General dewinterization:
1 - Connect a water hose to the MH.
2 - Open the faucets and low drain valves.
3 - Wait until the pink stuff stop to flow from the low point valves and close them
4 - Let the other faucets to run until pink stuff is gone and close them.
5 - Outside, at the water heater, make sure the anode is in its place and tight and open the relief valve.
6 - on the inside, turn the two valves at the back of the water heater, that will make the water to flow into it.
7 - Go outside and when water starts to come out of relief valve, close it.
8 - If you have a house water filter, turn off the water and install it now.
10 - Turn the water pump valve to their running position.
11 - If your water tank have pink stuff into it, drain it and wash the water tank.

Check out the excellent crowd sourced Axis/Vegas owner's manual found here:

You'll find all kinds of info--including dewinterizing instructions.
