Great video

[@sunshinemodels1]

thanks for the video. Always wondered.. why are hot water heater tanks designed to fill up from the bottom instead of the top? Seems backwards to me

[@shanedenmark5536]

2 reasons: First, heat rises. Hot water will naturally rise towards the outlet. Second, filling from the bottom allows the rising water level to push air in the tank out through an open faucet to allow the tank to initially fill.

Does the water fill the water heater automatically when filling the trailer water tank, or connecting to street water?

[@shanedenmark5536]

Kinda. You need to open a hot water faucet to allow the water to push the air out of the tank while it fills. If the air can’t escape, the tank won’t fill.

We have a 2021 Palomino Solaria travel trailer. The water heater is on the left side front beside the water bay. I cannot find access to the winterizing valves. Can anyone help me find access?

[@tman1941]

On our older RV the valves are under one of the dinette seats. So look inside the RV near the location of the water heater.
