My mid 90s Class C has the fresh water tank under the bed along with the pump.

It's actually along the rear wall under the area where the pillows would be so I still have quite a bit of under bed storage.

I check the pump for leaks occasionally during the season and definitely when winterizing.

It's mildly annoying when I'm in bed and someone runs a faucet or flushes the toilet because the pump is right under my head.

I know what you mean tcg.
My tank sits to the left .. (.wife side )
�� witch wouldn't be bad but it takes half of the storage away ..I'm thinking about mounting it length ways up against the back wall once I get the repairs done..don't need the outside shower..pump can be placed elsewhere to. Hole back floor needs to replaced so that's an option. Thanks for the reply tcg..

Fresh water tank

Hay tcg thanks for the reply.
I know what you mean .that's what I'm afraid of too .the tank is mounted to the left underneath the bed ..(wife side)...once the floor repair is done im thinking of place it up against the back wall like yours .that way I gain more storage. I don't want the outside shower..that can go ...still on the fence on where to mount it ...under or in the rig

Our 96 Fleetwood, class A, has the water tank under the bed. Believe the reasoning was, if the fresh water was inside the coach, the coach'es heater would keep the tank from freezing while you traveled down the road.
With the gray and black tanks outside, you could add anti-freeze products to the gray and black tanks. On our coach we can also engage the tank heater/s while traveling. You can always add anti-freeze to those tanks, something you would not want to do to your fresh tank.
Back in the day people actually drank from their fresh tank, and did not purchase bottled water like we do today.
When I was a kid their was a water spigot on the outside of campers to get fresh water. That featured went out of fashion in the 80's, replaced by outside showers in the 90's.
When we vacation in Yellowstone this last Christmas, the fresh water never got below the 50's in sub-freezing temps. We also had anti-freeze in the under coach mounted gray and black tanks.

Our 2010 Winnebago Vista 32K has the tank under the bed. It’s pretty much centered (side to side) and just a bit behind the rear duallies. We had the same issue with the pump but caught it quickly. The fitting on the filter was leaking a bit of water.
