I have a collapsable bucket that will fit around the filter that will contain most of the water. I keep the bucket in the trailer to use as needed.

Our location isn't bad. It's in our pass through on the right behind a removeable piece of board. I use it and like it. I use a towel under it to catch the cup or so of water.

All excellent information. I was able to get mine off with little spillage but it sure isn't easy. I suppose if it's a once a year thing it should be OK. I took the cover off so I could open the cabinet door and see what's happening in there.

I never leave my filter in in between trips. I always pull it out and dry it out between trips.

We just got our trailer and the filter is behind a door on the back (outside) of the trailer (2909). I have looked yet as to what model to see if I should remove the entire thing or not. But it sounds like a better place than what I hear in this thread.

Mine was under the bathroom sink (effectively inaccessible). I removed it and now use an external filter.

That’s where mine is on my 2902. I’m very happy with the GE I installed. The built in bypass is very convenient.

Agree wholeheartedly. There are wire nut connections almost directly under mine, and hoses etc. all around it so it is nearly impossible to fit a bucket under it to catch spills.

We have a 2015-8329SS and our filter was in the bathroom cabinet under the sink and a pain to get to. In the past I had a filter housing rupture in the middle of the night in a previous camper so I bought a fitting and removed putting hose fittings so now it’s outside. Don’t know if anyone has looked they’re filter if the trailer sits unused for a while they look nasty so after each trip I remove filter letting it dry in sink.
