Both,
Our coach, an older sister of yours, an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT, has the reservoir, pump and control panel systems, all under the entry steps, just behind the Kwikee steps. IF you lay down, in front of the coach, and look up, just behind the right front corner of the coach, you'll see the clear plexiglass cover over the control center. Behind that, which is behind the Kwikee steps, is the reservoir, manifold, solenoids and pump.
And yes, just under the lip of each of the entry steps, is a bolt or, screw. Run your fingers along the bottom lip of each of those steps and, close to the center will be the bolt. Remove that bolt, lift the step cover and, you'll expose all of what I described, only from the top view.
Now, if you feel that, that reservoir is low, make sure all the Jacks are completely up and, all the slides are completely retracted. Then, and only then, you can remove the reservoir cap and check the fluid level. Hope this helps.

- B_BExplorerIt is under the second step or third step, go outside the coach and feel under your entrance steps, you will feel a nut, remove nut, and lift step. The pump, reservoir and valves are there.
- mmccray100ExplorerI had the same problem, an I'm traveling solo. Tried to get my dogs to help but the training time was too long. I had to call an on-site RV repair. He was able to find it under the bedroom slide-out. I have a 99 Winnebago Chieftain. It wasn't easy to lift the Fluid up and in a position to pour.

With the service panel open, you can access
the following service points:
• Engine Oil Dipstick
• Engine Oil Fill
• Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
• Engine Coolant Tank
• Transmission Dipstick/Fill Tube
• Air Filter Restriction Indicator
• Engine Diagnostic Connector - SCVJeffExplorerLook carefully at your stairs. Under at least one of them are screws. Once out lift the stairs and Viola!
- TrackrigExplorer IIIt should be part of the pump. If no one with specific knowledge answers you, go outside, open the storage compartment doors and have someone operate the levelers. You should hear the pump operating. It's probably painted black and looks somewhat like a household kitchen sink garbage disposal, only about twice the size.
