Location of Hydraulic Fuel reservoir

[scottyballs]

I have a 2006 Keystone Cougar. I cannot find the HF reservoir. It's NOT located in the front compartment with the landing gear. I have no other panels on the sides that might be the location, and I don't see it anywhere underneath. Is it hidden up under the protective panel that covers the bottom of the trailer?

I have not seen all Cougars, but I've never seen one with hydraulic anything. I think your manual is simply wrong. Huh, who woulda thunk the manual would have errors?

It's not hydraulic if you have an electric 12 volt motor attached to the landing gear. So what is the problem besides looking for something that isn't there? On the other hand I believe Big Foot leveling system is hydraulic, is that what you have?

My slides are all hydraulic and the pump and reservoir is easy to service it is next to the leveling legs switch.

The pump, tank and motor should be all one piece.

If it is hydraulic the reservoir will be where the noise comes from.

Have you looked in the compartment the propane cylinders are in, or it could be that the electric motor, pump, and reservoir are built as one unit.

A pump is needed in order to run the hydraulic pump...

There is an electric motor near the landing gear. With my very limited knowledge of hydraulics, I didn't think you would need an electrical motor with a hydraulic system. However, the manual that came with the trailer clearly state that it is a hydraulic system. Strange?

Are you sure you're hydraulic? All the pics I find online for older Cougar 5th wheels appear to be electric.

If you do have a reservoir, it should be easily accessible.

OBVIOUSLY I meant FLUID.

Hydraulic 'fuel'.. that's a new one on me.
