Take a look under your coach, just about where the steering gear is
located at. There should be a vlv that has a hose goes to and from.
This will be the main operational vlv to opperate the water heaters
throughout the coach. Also if your coach is like mine there is a
switch above the drivers area that controls a pump back by the water
tank (under bed). This pump helps move the water from the front of
the coach to the back and then back to the front. You should be able
to hear this pump working when you start it up by listening for it
back in your bedroom.
