Any ideas where the water pump is at?


Thanks again for all the help. I am going to spend some serious time digging through the coach this week to identify some items.

I believe my hydraulic lines are somewhere very silly like a wheel well. Does that sound correct?

My 1996 MA was a DP so some things may vary. The fill is done through the water hose, I used to pour bleach in the hose before connecting it to the rig. Make sure to turn the valve to fill tank. Once tank is full, the valve needs to be turned back or you won't pump any water through the coach with the pump. Run water in faucets until you smell bleach, let stand for 12-24 hrs. Hook hose up and flush faucets, drain and fill tank.

My pump was located in the water bay, tucked up towards rear tire well.

Leveling jacks pump was located behind the rear bumper on the driver's side.

Enjoy your coach.

Thank you everyone for your help!

Here is what I found:

Water pump is FOUND! - Under the rear most basement storage beneath the slide. It has another line running off of it that, when turned on, allows the water pump to pull water into the system. The hose is old and dingy thus I will not be using it but I can replace in case of boondocking needs etc. Good news is when I turned on the intake line the water pump was SILENT! Looks brand new.

The city water connection has an unlabeled value in between it and the black tank rinse line. Looking at the water lines I found that it is the route to the fresh tank. This was probably labeled when manufactured by no longer has a label on it. I have yet to test it but it appears in good working order. (No apparent leaks or signs of leaks)

I have some more work to do but at least the water supply is identified.

Last question regarding the water process. What does the switch ON/OFF next to the city water connection do? I assume it operates a powered ballcock or value mechanism and I guess I wont know if its bad until I hook up right?

That switch is probably the wet bay heat. It's a fan that blows warm air from the heat duct into the wet bay.

Might be ignorant but why would you want that?

For winter camping below freezing temps. It keeps the basement above freezing.
