23LB water filter location

[howie70]

Greetings all. I will be going to check out a 2014 23LB with the murphy bed. I have read about some water filter accidents on here. Mainly, the water filter popping off and sending water flowing everywhere. I want to be sure to check out the filter on this used unit. Can anyone tell me where it is located?
Also, anyone know off hand if it has a EPDM or TPO roof material?
Thanks! May be part of the Forest River clan soon. We have looked at the new 23LB and really like these units.

The water filter housing is located near the rear of the hot water heater behind a panel. If you open the outdoor hatch under the bunk beds you should see a wood panel screwed down with two Phillips heed screws on the right side. This panel can then be removed and you gain access to the water pump, water heater bypass and the water filter.

I have removed our water filter since reading about the many leak problems and the general access to it. When needed I use a inline water filter outside on the water supply hose.

LOVE it!!!! Just the right size. The DW and I spent today getting it ready for the season.

Ours has the murphy bed that gives us a couch when the bed is put up.

And knock wood, no major or minor issues with it since new.
