This is my first spring with a REAL RV.  Please be kind as usual!

As I understand, dewinterize is drain / flush the pink stuff, sanitize with bleach, flush well and go camping.

My Suburban Water heater has a new anode rod, so I must replace and tighten before sanitize.  When I open the WH access, there are NO valves visible except the pop off valve.  Do I need to look elsewhere for bypass valve(s)?
 
The bypass valves are generally on the opposite side of the water heater. Sometimes you have to pull out a drawer, or remove a few screws and pop a panel. Just figure out where the back is inside, as compared with the front on the outside, and start digging.
