Hot water by pass valve

Does anyone have a picture of the hot water bypass valve for a 2016 GT Ext (rear bench) or know the location? The manual says by the tank however when I had the bench off and everything tore down for my battery and solar upgrades I could not find it.

Unfortunately I packed the van for my 10 day trip and forgot to address this (pounds head on desk - sorry Interblog I had to steal your quote ).

You saved me again! I owe a beverage of your choice when I get back that way.

If it’s at all like our Lounge, you might be able to put your seat down about half way and reach in from behind. It’s not the easiest to access even then, but doable.

I cut a section out of the wooden panel below the front of the lounge seat, and put it back with a hinge. I flip the panel down to access the bypass valve. The hinged section hardly shows with the seats in the upright position - which ours never our.
