Winterizing my 2020 - 26dbud

Where is my bypass valves on my 26dbud. Actually where is my fresh water pump?

I can’t find any instructions for winterizing this thing.

Not sure about your model, seems to me the water pump is always near the fresh water intake on outside of camper. Maybe start there?

I’ll look again but the furnace and refrigerator is in this area and I can’t find a panel to remove to find the pump. I always use RV antifreeze and put it through the fresh water pump on all my other campers in the past.

Did you look under the bottom bunk? Mine was not super easy to lift up until after I did get the plywood up I drilled a finger hole for easier access.

My water pump was hidden under the sink on the floor... I had to remove two screws to access.

Different model but mine is located under the fridge right next to the water tank fill line.

By-pass is usually located on WH...at least on a lot of newer models. Put water in tank, open faucet, turn on pump, follow the sound.

About to winterize a 2019 Salem 26 DBUD. Is there a hose attachment to place into the anti-freeze? Pump is located in pantry: lower level.

Thanks!

I have a Grey Wolf not a Salem, so couple thoughts. Assuming you don't have a winterize connection on the outside of the TT, then look for a bypass valve on the intake line going into the water pump. Probably close to the screen. If your TT doesn't have one, you'll need to install one.
Good luck.
