Newbee prepping for the upcoming freezes.
I've found almost everything on this new-to-me trailer except the HW cutoff valve.

Any suggestions where it maybe are appreciated
 
On my WH the Bypass (cutoff) is located behind the WH. Access to the back of the WH is from the inside of the TT behind a fake panel. Once you find the bypass valves. You will have to post what you have  (1,2 or 3 valves) for further directions.

And Welcome to the Forum. 
 
The valve(s) are usually where the tubing enters the heater, so on the back side and sometime below or above on that side.  It's not unusual to have to remove a drawer or a panel from a closet or cupboard wall to get access.
 
Yep. That little bugger was behind the screwed in panel below the oven.
It was installed with the lever facing inwards.
One quarter turn is the only option.

Next to drain the tank and check the anode.....
