"My hotwater bypass is white, & is also located near the kitchen sink area, close to the w/h."
 
Guess they changed them since we bought our unit. Our bypass valves are blue and the low point drains are white and they are all in the utility hookup compartment.

Aso, don't forget you should have a drain line for the fresh water holdng tank besides the two blue tabs. It should be hanging down under the unit near the back.

Again, I agree with Stan.  Turn them to the left & 1 will drain the cold water, & the other will hot water lines.  My hotwater bypass is white, & is also located near the kitchen sink area, close to the w/h.  The bypass is used to winterize your RV during the freezing season, & bypasses the the w/h, & you would also open another valve, to pump the RV anitfreeze into the water system.  You also need to drain the w/h, after you open the bypass.

HWH by-pass is for winterization. The by-pass closes the loop so you don't fill your tank with pink anti-freeze.

Those are the low point drains.  QQ - What is the hot water bypass use for?

The blue knobs are the low point drains.

The hot water bypass is in the kitchen cabinet near the sink.

Agreed, either HWH by-pass (is it behind there?) or low point drains for your hot/cold lines.
