Radiator reservoir/potable water pump

[RANCHER 1946]

I am new here so these may have been covered...Is there any easy way to fill engine coolant reservoir and/or check level beside sight glass?


Second question.... where is the pump for house fresh water system?

First, it would be good to add the model/year of your Alpine to your signature block so we can better help you. The coolant reservoir on newer models of Alpine seemed to get higher and higher up into the engine compartment .....so not much space to pour in coolant. Creative minds might recommend some sort of hand-pump. Sight glass is the primary means to check level: 1-be sure to check level when engine is at ops temp and running [not cold], and 2-these sight glasses can and do fail, allowing coolant to get trapped inside the glass--giving the appearance that reservoir is full. Depending on coolant type used, need to check DCA additive levels too.
Depending on model and year, water pump is usually on frame, drivers side, under kitchen slide, near cable reel, if so equipped....
