Winterizing My 2002 Chieftain

So I decided to winterize yesterday instead of trying to heat the wastewater lines and tank with a space heater. It was a pretty quick job and very easy after watching a couple videos on it.

I do have a question I have the picture bypass switch. Now that I'm done winterizing do I leave the switch in the bypass position. I'm guessing I do, but I just want to make sure. The owners manual doesn't say either way.

I leave mine on, BUT after winterising I turn off the aux. battery switch. It disconnects the coach part from the house batteries, which also turns off the winterizing and water heater bypass electrical switches.
Otherwise I would not leave them on long-term, as the 12V coil in the valve is energized continually.
