Damon Motor Coach RVs - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Looking for an owners manual for a 1993 Damon Hornet..even if it’s online
Finding an older model owners manual is usually not worth the effort. The manuals are written very generically to cover multiple models and changes made on the production line. Since the number of models produced is low and not worth changing the manual to be accurate. Take a survey of your RV and note every item installed. Those systems most likely have manuals, even troubleshooting guides to help. You can even read owners manuals for current RVs available on their manufacturers websites if you'd like.
Locating the water heater bypass on forest river 398
Locating the water heater bypass on a Forest River RV, specifically the Forest River Georgetown 398 model, can vary based on the specific layout and design of the RV. However, in most RVs, including Forest River models, the water heater bypass valves are typically located near the water heater unit itself. Here are some general steps to help you locate the water heater bypass on your Forest River Georgetown 398:
1. **Identify the Water Heater Unit:**
- The water heater in your RV is usually located inside a cabinet or compartment, either inside the RV or accessible from the exterior.
- It is commonly found in the kitchen area, bathroom, or an exterior compartment.
2. **Access the Water Heater Compartment:**
- Locate the compartment where the water heater is installed. This could be inside the RV or in an exterior storage compartment.
- Open the compartment door to access the water heater.
3. **Look for the Bypass Valves:**
- Once you have located the water heater, look for the bypass valves near the water heater unit.
- The bypass valves are used to redirect water flow during winterization or maintenance to bypass the water heater.
4. **Check Behind the Water Heater:**
- In some cases, the bypass valves may be located behind or on the backside of the water heater unit.
- You may need to remove a panel or access door to reach the bypass valves.
5. **Identify the Bypass Valve Configuration:**
- The water heater bypass system typically consists of three valves: a cold water valve, a hot water valve, and a bypass valve.
- The bypass valve should be set to bypass the water heater when winterizing the RV or performing maintenance.
6. **Consult the RV Manual:**
- if you have one, refer to the owner's manual or documentation provided with your Forest River Georgetown 398 for specific information on the location and operation of the water heater bypass system.
If you are unable to locate the water heater bypass valves or have difficulty accessing them, it may be helpful to consult with a Forest River dealer or RV service center for assistance.
