Fresh water tank location on Cougar 333 mks

Anyone know offhand where each of the tanks are mounted under the Cougar 333 MKS? Specifically the fresh water tank which may be at the back. Looking at buying this fifth but concerned about the pin weight only. Thinking that I might fill the tank if at the back to offset the pin weight up front.

  • We have a 327RES, and the tanks are in the very same positions. Also towing with a 3/4.
  • I called keystone, and for those who may want to know, the fresh water tank is at the very back of the trailer, underneath the rocker chairs. The Grey #1 tank is underneath the door, the black behind it and the #2 grey is behind it further underneath the kitchen, which makes sense.

    And yes, it is obvious a larger truck or smaller RV would suit.
    It is just disappointing to find that a 3/4 ton diesel is at its limits for pin weight on something that is not the biggest fifth around with pin at 1655 lbs.

    Can pull a house, but you just can't put it in the bed.

    Call Keystone and see if you can get a schematic or pictures of an unfinished frame with tanks installed.

  • If you are that close on pin weight, might I suggest you consider either a larger truck or a smaller trailer.
