Winterize 2016 FR 247bhds ??

Where is the water pump located? Has anyone had a hard time draining the hot water heater?

The water pump on my 247 bhds is under the drivers side storage compartment. There should be 4 small screws holding a panel to the inside wall. The water pump should be behind the panel.

The hot water tank was pretty straight forward. Open the relief valve and the remove the anoid rod. I used compress air to assist will purging the water lines and faucets to include the outside shower . Then shut the valves off for the hot water tank and then pumped the antifreeze through all the line, faucets,shower heads etc. Pour a little in all the sinks and drains as well. Do not run the anti freeze through your hot water tank.

Found the water pump. Do you have to take the panel off under the sink? The dealership told me to look for three values....red & blue...do not see those.

They are under the lower bunk. Have to pull the mattress out and remove a few screws that hold down half the hinged panel that the mattress lays on. open the panel and the water heater is towards the rear you'll see the valves once you open the panel.

turn on the water pump open a faucet and follow the noise that will tell you where your pump is located.
