Fresh water system questions.

Since we're leaving shortly, I decided to put some fresh water in the storage tank. Found the fill (left) and drain (right) valves and looks like it has been replumbed. (Very clean job!) ! My excellent files show the accumulator has been replaced, (pressure set @ 23 psi, 2 psi less than pump cut-in pressure). The pump has been replaced, as well. I assume Shurflo. I really like the design, the Airstream ran off the pump. no accumulator, was noisy and I had to replace it a few times. Question is, where are the accumulator & pump located? Looked around, but nada. Any clues? Thanks, M

Mike,

That is OE valving.

Raise the sofa bottom and you will see the pump, relay and accumulator.
