Unable to locate hydraulic pump to check fluid level

I have looked and looked and unable to find the hydraulic pump that enables to tilt out to move to check the fluid, several people have looked and they also do not find. On a keystone 2007 Copper Canyon 5th wheel its driving me nuts, please help me locate it.
  • Well, the OP has never come back to expand on his problem, so we may never know. :)

    My 2005 Keystone Big Sky had hydraulic landing gear, and I loved them, they worked so fast. Much better than the electric ones, IMO anyway.

    After giving this some consideration, I think he has worse problems than finding the pump. I think they're under the impression there's a separate pump for the slides, because their slides won't move and they're trying to find the pump to see if it's too low on fluid to move the slides.

    There's only one pump, and it should be in the front compartment.

    Unlikely the 2007 Copper Canyon has hydraulic jacks.

  • My bad, I was thinking hydraulic landing in gear which I miss that came with my Bighorn.

    2007 Keystone, I doubt had hydraulics.

    My 2007 Keystone Montana had hydraulic slides. But the pump was very obvious when you opened the front compartment door. If several people can’t locate the pump then my guess is it doesn’t have one.
  • My 05 Mountaineer has the pump in the front storage compartment
  • I had a 2005 Keystone with hydraulics, so it is possible. But are you sure it's hydraulic, and why do you need to find the pump? Have you tried using the hydraulics and followed the sound? Or followed the hoses from the front stabilizers? It's pretty good sized, so pretty hard to successfully hide. :)
  • Maybe you have cable slides rather than hydraulic slides.
