2009 Sandpiper 351BHT water filter location

Does anyone know where the water filter is located on the 2009 sandpiper, model 351BHT? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for your help.

I have a 2009 345RET and mine is in one of the the lower kitchen cabinets, There is a piece of paneling with two screws holding the paneling in place hiding the filter, Also if you turn on the water pump and and listen your filter will be with the pump.
Now maybe you can help me, On the monitor panel what is the red rocker switch the says HTR for, I know it probable stands for heater but my water heater works weather it is on or off.
I think Forest River could of come up with a better owners manual.

The switch you are refering to is for the winter heaters for your holding tanks. I asked the same question at my dealership when I took delivery of my 345 RET. Normally you won't need it unless you are over winter user.

Thanks for the location of the filter on the 345 RET I talked with Forest River and they told me that it was located under a removable panel inside the cellar??? I'll check out your answer too.

We are taking delivery of our new 2010 Sandpiper 356RL this Saturday (June 27th) from RV Wholesalers in Ohio, we can't wait. Trading in our 2006 Keystone Outback 30FRKS for the Sandpiper.

on my wall panel (351BHT) the HTR switch is to turn the how water heater propane heating function on. This way your hot water heater will run off electric and gas so it will replenish your hot water faster. But this is for my model so yours may be different.

Davet, just like Jjkalmus said. I have an 09' Sandpiper 345QB. The switch at the monitor panel is for gas operation. The electric switch for Surburban water heaters is outside behind the access panel. It's a little black rocker switch near the bottom. Unless this switch is off, your water heater is on the moment you plug your cord in. Most waste water tanks are heated by the furnace nowadays.
