Gaining access to fresh water tank

[wellsfp]

I'm planning to retrofit the SeeLevel system to my 2014 RSS3B. The black and grey tanks are readily accessible but I can't even FIND the fresh water tank. It's got to be in there somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

It is located near the axles, might have to pull the belly pan to access.

depending on the model and the floor plan of course, it might be under the bed. on my 31e its under the queen bed in the back.

other class A's have reported under/behind the sofa.

If you did not know this section is for "DRV Luxury Suites" owners AKA 5er owners.

Diemaster,
Thanks for the suggestion, but on a DRV fifth wheel, the water tanks are all in the same area--near the axles.

Just a tad rear of the axles, under the belly liner.

Really??? This forum is about helping everyone we can...not just those who have similar coaches. The Thor Chateau is not my first RV.

Thanks to all who tried to direct me to my fresh water tank. With a high powered flash light and looking aft from the basement all the way through the service bay packed with hydraulic lines, plumbing tubing, electrical wires and HVAC ducting I could just make out a corner of the tank. So it's between the service bay and the axles. I found no practical access. It looks like I would need to undo the LP gas line, the generator exhaust and the black and grey dump pipes just to get to where I could drop the belly pan. In my opinion this falls into the category of "not worth it".
I did enjoy everyone who responded especially the suggestion that I look for the fresh water tank under the bed or behind the couch. That was worth a chuckle.

You're right about helping others BUT the op asked a very specific question about something in his DRV< The location of anything on ANY other rig is worthless. READ before you comment.

Bill, these posters are not clicking the DRV subsection. They are just clicking on new posts and do not observe at the top where it shows that they are in the DRV section. Not sure why they want to look at every new post. But that is what is happening. But I agree that they need to be aware of the entire picture.

MOST "trailers" have the water tank very near the axles and centered across the body...anyone (specifically me) that's had one of similar design (regardless of brand) knows this...isn't that where he found it?? I don't blindly read through the forums and randomly comment on things I don't know anything about. I read all posts as most here do. If someone has an issue...regardless of brand...others will offer what they know or offer suggestions based on logic, as most have had a variety of campers. Interestingly how the only thing Bill had to offer the Thread was quick, unqualified advice to me. And you...blindly assuming others are just clicking away on new posts without any idea what they are doing. Again...Really???

[Cummins12V98]

Us DRV peoples are kinda Snobby.

[The Gritz Carlton]

It's just another camper.

"Just a tad rear of the axles, under the belly liner"


That's what you said. Not accurate. So therefore of NO help. And I have owned 4 DRV products that had the fresh water tank in the cargo bay, a long way from the axle. If you can not read and correctly answer the question you are of no help.

Grow up...you'd make a fine adult!

[Porkchop]

That's good because you won't.

Thanks for your great wisdom, knowledge and Logic...
With out you, us DRV simpletons would know nothing about our rigs.

How did I “blindly assume” by stating that you look at all new posts on the forum? I just stated to Bill the “logic” on how you found this post. You do, right?


If you wish to continue a banter, please do it though a PM so this thread does not get derailed.

For the benefit of anyone wishing to see where DRV put the holding tanks, reference these two pictures. One, taken from the front shows the "door side" of the frame with the grey and black tanks situated above each other, and the white tank behind the raised part of the frame is the fresh water tank. These photos date back to the time when I was researching for our 2010 DRV, so these were likely taken sometime between 2008 and 2010.


Some of the blue lines in the photos are part of the tank flushing system.
