Title: 3 questions for today.
Post by: Carol & Scott on February 21, 2014, 11:54:40 am
Another Duh moment - Just realized I do not know how to open the jackknife couch.  Since we will be traveling with the G-Kids this summer I guess I should know how to open it.  Ya think?

Also while looking under the couch for a way top open it, I thought about an accumulator tank for fresh water.  I have seen that some of you have them and they are located under the couch.  I have nothing but capeting. 

1.  How do I open the jackknife couch?
2.  Do I have a fresh water accumulator tank?  If so where might it be located?
3.  Best replacement water pump?  Working well right now.

I guess it's 4 questions - ;D

Thanks again in advance for your patience and input.

Scott,

Just lift it from the front and pull towards you.  That's how mine works.  It's heavy at first until you get the hang of it.

The other questions have been addressed several times just do a search on the topics.

Scott,

My accumulator tank is right next to my water pump in the right side wet bay.

I long ago ditched the accummulator tank (which was in the water pump bay).  Not really needed with today's variable pumps.

Have just been looking at the PO Fofum posts.  It appears that he replaced the water pump in 2005 with one that he had on hand from his previous Dutch Star.  He must have pulled the accumulator at the same time as it is no where to be found.

Our 2003 does not have an accumulator tank; came with an Aquajet variable speed as the OEM.
