I wish to remove the preheater hoses leading to the rear of the coach for the hot water heater. Any good advice. Taking out the "T" is easy, but what about the water connection on the pack of the passenger side head? Terminate it? Or, route it back into hose up front of the engine?
Tired of fighting with the hose every time that I'm in the engine compartment. I do not take advantage of the preheated water connection. I know that some of you enjoy hot water when you get to where you are going, but not dry camping, I'll just use shore power and wait.

Without the preheat option the hose from the discharge port at the rear of the passenger head goes forward to the heater.
