It sounds like you don’t have a gravity fill for fresh water either. I am going to install another pump so I can pull out of a portable water tank to fill rv tank when city water not available.

If you have a winterize suction port, you can do that already with the built-in pump. Just set the valves for winterize and open the fill valve.

In my Coachmen it's the low point drain under the drawer below the stove. I don't have a gravity fill for fresh water and my tank is more under the fridge than the bed, Do you have to fill with city water hook-up?

I've read that if a panel is screwed in, there may be something useful to you behind it. If it's tacked/stapled in, then no. I've seen that on our Jayco.

Under the queen bed, there's a "box" along the full length of one side. It reveals the Auto Transfer Switch in addition to access for the Converter/Charger. In higher line Jayco's it hides the Inverter.

Next to the shower, there's a little panel with screws and actually a little sealant. It's access to the shower trap and the fresh water overflow connection on the top of the tank. That's hard to visualize till I tell you our fresh tank us UNDER the floor, above the rear axle. Our FW tank drain is a spigot mounted on the outside wall of the coach body.

Coachmen hides them in various places. On my 2015 Prism they are behind a screwed on panel in my under-bed compartment. Maybe look for a similar panel somewhere in the vicinity of your fresh water tank. ST
