Please send me to the correct location for information about these installations on a 2005 FEMA Cherokee Lite 28a+. Does this model have fresh water storage, grey water storage, black water storage, a water pump, if so which model and a water filter, if so which model.
Your assistance is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Not sure if your unit would have those things, they strip them down to be setup as permanent sites. The tanks should be underneath the unit at the back. You will have to track the lines to see where the pump and water filter are. Mine are underneath the sink by the bathroom.

My TT is not nearby. I will follow your directions but through FR forum research, the FEMA site shows these models to be very stripped down. This is OK since it will be permanently parked. Thanks again.
Look under it, driver's side if it were being towed. Do you see a 3 inch black in color pipe, with a cap on it, and a couple of "T" handles bear by?. If you do, you have holding tanks. Look at all the sides for a place to connect a water hose, and then look for a place with a cap that says "potable water only". If you find the one with the 2 inch cap, that is fresh water tank. Last, what kind of toilet is in it? An RV toilet, that holds little water, or a regular house stye toilet, with a tank? That might be a clue.
This is an RV toilet. The paperwork says Thetford. It looks like the Bravura model. The paperwork shows a Hand spray. I think I will look into getting one of those unless my forum friends have negative knowledge about such. Thanks again.
Forest River provides no such specific info on any of their RVs.
only manufacturers' paperwork for each individual item, like oven, a/c, awning, water pump, converter, and so on.
only someone else who has a FEMA trailer could give you this type of info, as far as what types of systems it came with.
a Cherokee 28a+ owner could help but his would be equipped differently than a FEMA version of the same trailer.
a quick visual inspection of the trailer, would be your best way to find out.

if you have pics of the driver's side, of the rear underneath, that would be where the black/gray tank outlet would be.
and the tanks would be connected to the outlet.
the FW tank is usually forward, along with the water pump. but not always.

I have one.
The pics in previous posts appear to not be FEMA spec trailers. They look to me to be trailers off of dealers lots that were re-purposed by FEMA early on. Those are the choice campers to have because they will have all of the tanks and a camper refrigerator. They removed the TV, Radio and luxury items in some of them. i have only been in one when I attended an auction.
I purchased a FEMA spec trailer. these were built to FEMA specifications. They are very basic and will not have decals or awnings when viewing from the outside.
They smell/vapor issues in my experience have been hype. I seem to be the only vapor issue in the camper
Mine and all of the ones I have looked at (100+) have DC power, lighting, propane heater and water heater (10 gal in mine), shower garden tub combo, microwave, foward queen bed, two aft bunks, futon sofa(RV type and cheap), galley table/bed (RV type). The difference is that FEMA spec campers have a porcelain household toilet, household refrigerator, and no fresh, grey or black water tanks. The grey lines and toilet lines converge at the side of the camper and were intended to be connected to existing sewer systems. I added a RV valve to mine and I pipe to a 42 gal blue tank at my hunting camp. I also run a generator. I did add a fresh water tank and pump into the system. I works great but I found I can monitor water usage better by just filling the back of the toilet as needed.
I posted pictures on this Forum about a year and a half ago, just search for FEMA, they may still be active.
I just realized that those were your pictures, you lucky dog. If you have a RV toilet than you should have tanks.
Look and see if you can find a tank monitor.
Also write down the model numbers of the appliances. I found most of the manuals in the camper when I bought mine. I found the converter manual on the internet.
Surburban WH and stove in mine.
Wico - WDC converter
The microwave will most likely be a stock household.
Here's a tip: if you buy a new mattress and it is one of those memory foam deals:
DON'T OPEN IT IN A TIGHT SPACE. At least not with your wife around.
I opened the box and the mattress was in a bag and shriveled up like a prune 2ft by 1ft. I was in the camper bed room and punctured the bag. It came to life and pinned me to the wall. All I could see was foam and my wife's hand in the door with the cell phone camera.
