Water pump location on 31.5FBHS

OK, I give up ... I can't find where the water pump is located on my 5th wheel.
Anyone else with a 31.5FBHS out there who can tell me where to find the water pump?

My pump has always made a lot of racket and "hammering", I'd like to get in there and see how the set up is and what I can change to better isolate it or upgrade it to a better one.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks,

It's probably located behind the utility panel, or in that general area.

1) turn on a facet and try to locate the source of the noise of the pump cycling.
2) Open every cupboard and look behind every panel until you find it.
3) You may have to remove an 'access panel' to get to the little bugger.


My last TT had it behind 4 screws right next to the door.
The new TT has it below and to the left of the fridge, behind an ordinary cabinet door.

On our 5th access is in the basement behind the water controls. Removing one of the basement walls gets me in.

Most of my "hammering" was due vibration where water pipes touched something. Bought pipe insulators from Home Depot and installed where I could reach. Then bought the flex pipe kit to hook on both sides of pump. Much quitter now. Pump is almost always be hind a removal panel, and near fresh water tank.

water pump

Your water pump is under the bottom drawer in the kitchen. Pull out the drawer and you should be OK. At least that's where it was on my 2011. By the way mine hammered also. Never did anything about it thought. I hear adding a expansion tank gets rid of the noise.

Although I've never looked for it (or never used it) I do believe I have saw it right where 3500 Ram said it was. Remove the bottom drawer or the Hot Water access panel under the fridg, it should be there.
