Its pretty easy if you put your mind to them. There are 3 valves connected to the water heater: One each on the input/output lines and a cross-over valve. When in use you want the cross-over valve closed and the input/output valves open. In "winter" mode its the opposite: cross-over open, input/output closed.
The only other valve involved in winterizing is the feed from the fresh water tank. Open in summer and closed when you want to feed anti-freeze into the system.
The remaining valves: low point drain (2, hot & cold), and the tank drain I leave closed all the time--only opening the tank drain to, um, drain the tank. The low point drains I crack for a second when the system is pressurized with anti-freeze during the winterization procedure. I also crack the two input/output valves to the water heater during winterization to get some antifreeze in the short stub lines to the water heater on the other side of the valves.

....it depends on the Vegas floor plan. I remember someone mentioned that to access the fresh w/tank drain valve, the large exterior rear compartment had to be emptied and the large wood panel removed loosening four screws. However, if your floor plan has the kitchen, instead of a bedroom, in the rear of the coach, open and remove the third kitchen drawer below the kitchen sink. Reach inside towards the rear of the coach and you'll feel the drain valve. Saves a ton of work.
