2017 Greyhawk 31FS Where are the components?

[t18skyguy]

Well we are getting ready for our first trip in this 2017 31FS. I admit to a little anxiety, cause I still don't have a full understanding of the rig. The manual is so generic as to be no help. In particular, where is the inverter located? Where is the converter located? Where is the water tank at? And why is there two temperature scales on the stock thermostat? I do know where the power center is. When I had my 96 Eagle I use to like lifting the dinette seat and actually looking at the water tank, even though it had the electronic monitor panel. My first inclination is to look where my old Jayco had it's stuff, but I have to adapt to this new rig. Thanks for any help.

In my 2016 31DS electronics are located under the bed. Lift mattress, remove access panel and they are under there. The Inverter, the Automatic Transfer Relay, and Power Center.

Water tank is located underneath the RV. Crawl under and lookup. You should see it.

Thermostat has a scale for actual temperature, and another for the desired temperature setting.

Happy Travels in your new Rig!

Thank you Tom, do you guys know where the water pump is ?

[tom463219]

My water pump is located in the outside rear storage compartment. There is a removable panel in there where the water pump and replaceable water filter are located. Yours could be different.

On my 2016 31FS, the water pump is under the queen bed. It is concealed by a long, narrow wooden cover secured by a few screws into the carpet and bed frame. Sorry, I don't have any pictures.

Thank you guys. Yes it's all under the bed like you said, and the water pump is indeed inside that long narrow wood cover under there also. Makes me feel better at least knowing where it's all at.

Yes the bottom connection is for flushing out the black tank. You will eventually know all about your Greyhawk too. It was like that for me too. My last unit was a Trailer.

I put these on the duallies

I also put on a TPMS system to monitor the tire pressure from the drivers seat.

Thanks again Tom......I have a TPMS Also from my last Rig...... now it is just to find a place to put it........... GPS I have stuck to the windshield just under the rear view mirror, keeps that out of the way, I may move it as it has a recording feature as well....... just had new batteries put in the Modules and have to re program them, which I hate doing....... once again thanks...... I labeled the Black tank rinse just in case. You have been a wealth of information.

The other mark I made in the water compartment with a Sharpie was "Loosen" with an arrow going clockwise.

I could never remember which way to turn the ring to loosen the hose.

I just wanted to chime in and say that RVs are custom built, meaning that sometimes, things are flipped around a bit and it can be very confusing for a first timer.


For example, I have a 2017 Greyhawk 31FS and my flush port is on the top and my fill port is on the bottom. But in fairness, the stickers are next to the correct connections. But you can't make a blanket statement saying "the black tank flush is on the bottom" when it's not universally true.
