Hi Johnny, I believe the city water hook up in the elec cable compartment "T's" in the cold water line to kitchen that comes across from bathroom and pressurizes the water system. I'm thinking there is a drain under the "T". The tank fill at LR corner goes beside gen across under window and dumps into top of water tank under RR couch.

The water from tank goes to pump in RR behind tank then to a T in the bathroom wall to toilet then on to bathroom to T to water heater, then both to sink then both across top of coach down behind cabinet to cold water T and check valve for city water fill, then both on to kitchen.

What you are looking for is probably behind the compartment with fuse box. Back wall comes out with screws iirc.

On our coach there’s an access panel in the closet. Just a circular cut out with a couple screws holding it on. This gets you a look at the tees that are in there. We had a leak behind there when we were in New Mexico. It was the street water hookup, it had cracked and was leaking only when the pump was running. It was a quick fix with a new piece.

Leaking, but not at the pressure inlet. I suspect it's leaking where the street hose tees to the overhead and to the sink. Behind the stove, which appears top be jammed in the cabinet. Prying is the afternoon job. I've an empty feeling that it's obne of these two hours to get to it, two hours to get away from it, and ten minutes to fix it. I hear it gurgle when I ruen the pump on, and yeasterdayw hen I ran the pump a bit, water came out of the bottom on that side as well as a damp spot on the carpet. Overhead lines are dry, faucet lines are dry, between them somewhere it ain't dry. It's back there, I just gotta get to it. Abd thanks for the directions guys, I managed to find all of it so far without breaking anything.

I doubt your stove is jammed. You probably don’t have all the screws out.
There are two on the front corners and some along the side.

Oh yea the stove. If it's OEM there are 4 visible screws in the top on the sides under the burner cover and there are 2 hidden in the front on the bottom of the side trim. Bout impossible to see unless you stand on your head.

The gas line will give a little but you will be better off turning gas off at tank and disconnecting gas line from stove.

It only takes about 10 mins to get the stove out if you get the all the screws out. Turn the propane off and disconnect the stove inlet line. Makes it for a very easy removal

What a colossal pain in the ass THAT was.... As it runs out, hidden behind the 12V AC supply..battery maintainer there was a frickin' one way valve... %8 special made of schedule 40 PVC. Which didn't survive the winter. Since I put the new water pump in, I'm a 'Fill it with shore water and live off the tank' kinda guy. So, I capped the T to the overhead and the T to the pressure water and drain cock. If someone tries to run a hose in under pressure it just won't go anywhere. I can always remove the caps and replace the one way valve if I want. This way alls I have to do is turb the pump power off when I leave the coach, saves walking around and turning the hose off at the pedestal. When I get over the lazies I'll go looking for a onme way made of something besides sched 40 PVC, or just replace it with a pieve of Pex about the same length with fittings on the end.

In that the pump used to give an occasional click, and now gives none, plus the looks of the area, that valve has been oozing for some time. With wever thing turned off, it held pressure while I vacuumed another five pounds of ratshit out of the heretofore inaccessible (except by rats) area behind the stove and cabinets. Bean Station awaits!
