Power Steering Fluid

Where do I check power steering fluid on my coach 2001 U295 8.3 Cummins?  On car, I trace it to a reservoir connectted to a power steering pump attached and driven by the engine.  I could not locate neither  on my RV.

Thanks,
Michael.

Thank you.
I've always thought that big tank is for the engine fan only.  Still learning.

And, there are filters in there that need to be changed every 3 years or so.
