Well its time to winterize and I need some help. The videos I have seen online seem simple enough and I am pretty handy so I decided to do it myself. I have a 2014 Primetime Avenger 27BBS. I emptied the hot water heater and also opened the low point drains no problem. The problem I have is I can't find the darn water pump to pump the pink stuff through. I have looked under the trailer pulled some panels off inside and I can not find the darn water pump. Anyone here have this model or have knowledge of this model and can point me in the right direction?? I really dont want to have to buy 6 to 8 galloons of pink stuff to fill the water tank to winterize but if I can't find the pump I guess I may have too. Thanks for the help.

Same with my NUWA.
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Well I found it. It was under the pantry. I had to take 4 screws out that held in the bottom shelf to get to it. Only good thing is the trailer is already equipped with the bypass so all I had to do was stick the hose into the jug and turn the pump on. Thanks for the help.

I swear, the people that design these things don't camp nor do they ever service them.

When I did the PDI on my new Outback, I insisted the technician show me the water pump. Um ... he couldn't find it. He looked through everything. Finally, I flipped on the switch and it started humming. Followed the sound of the humming and it was coming from the front bed room. Still could not find it. Not under the bed, no closets, looked in the front pass-through. Could hear the hum, but where in the world was it. Finally, I raised the bed and realized there was a step on one side of the bed that wasn't on the the other. After poking around, found it it was hinged, but could only be opened when the bed was up. Sure enough, there was the water pump. I FOUND IT, TECH GUY DID NOT ... NANNER, NANNER, NANNER on him!

Do the same, turn it on, listen, follow the sound. You may have to disassemble something, or take screws out of something to expose it. My water heater is behind a panel. I have to remove screws .... that one was another good the Tech guy had trouble finding also.

Start by turning on the pump and listening for the, "whirr/hum," and follow your ears.

Look inside behind the water heater also. Might be nearby.
I doubt it will be underneath. It will be inside somewhere.
