Where is my hot water tank
Help! So last evening my hot water froze. I need to find the hot water tank on my 2002 Fleetwood Bounder 39z I have looked all over and I'm sure it is in a very small spot some where. In the mean time I have open all water pipes (I think) to where heat can get to them. Any other suggestion on how to keep this from happening would be greatly appreciated. Oh and don't say move south it's not an opption. Thank you in advance

Just a guess but I think I read somewhere that they are in the bathroom area. Good luck!

Look around on the outside for the water heater vent cover. It might look like one of these.
Then look inside at this location.

If you have a DP and if there's an engine access hatch on the floor of the rear closet, go to that area and you'll probably find the water tank under an adjacent hatch cover.
The screws can be hidden by carpet, but you'll see the outline.

Just goggled their 2002 brochure. Boy was I wrong. It shows it on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel for a gasser, diesel in the last compartment on the pass. side. Oops! You will need to scroll to the bottom of the page. http://fleetwoodrv.com/frvlibrary/do...2002_bdr_b.pdf
