how can i access the 12 volt water pump on my 305 sk 2012 model? I think it might be behind an access door under the oven. Need to winterize in a couple weeks when i head home.
Cant even hardly get my arm and head under there,much less connect a hose for anti freeze.

Hi. We have the 2011 305SK. The water pump is under the small table/cabinet between the recliners at the back of unit. I have not checked the 2012 floorplan but I doubt it would be under the oven.

In my unit I dont have a table near the recliners. I will do some more looking around, but the only access panel I can find is when you open the door in the cabinet under the stove.

I see from your floor plan that you have a corner sink.
There must be a hot water heater access panel under the sink and your pump will
probably be located close to the water heater. </span>It is a long reach but the
bypass valve and winterizing tube are behind the head of the pump.</span>At the stern of our Cruiser the hose from the fresh water
tank to the pump is exposed. I will be installing a 3-way valve in that
location to make winterizing easier. By turning my new valve to the bypass
position and placing the winterizing hose into a pail of antifreeze, I should
be able to turn on the pump and purge the incoming pipe and all of the supply
lines to the faucets. OtherRV ownerspurchase a spare water pump and force antifreeze into the city water fill location. Don't forget the black water tank flush system.This year I could not keep antifreeze from flowing
through my water heater. I noticed in a winterizing instruction that I was
supposed to leave water in the heater, turn the water heater bypass and turn
the mixing valve while winterizing and then drain the water heater later. I
will be installing another valve at the water heater output to resolve this
issue.

On our unit it too is under the Oven behind a cheap panel. I physically could not get to ours because of arthritus restrictions .When we were in for service we asked them about it and they relocated the valves and such on the floor right inside the cabinetdoor so we can get to them with ease. Great change very much appreciated. jb

Thanks John. When I return to work I will take the panel off and have a look. I can probably fight thru it one time. I also like the idea of buying a seprate pump and pumping it in at the city water hook up. I may purchase a cheap electric sump pump and try dropping it in a five gallon bucket with anti freeze. Then I can pump some in black tank flush at the same time.
