1999 Contessa Water Pump Location

(1/1)

Mike Gineris:
I can't think of where else to look.  Does anyone have experience to know where the pump is?

Joel Ashley:
Check for removable panels in carpeted bay sidewalls, Mike.  They can be hard to see, but finger holes may give them away.  After a dozen years I inadvertently ran across a couple I didn’t know were there.  Also I suppose some models might place the pump in the “ghost” bay, the handleless doored one immediately forward of the curbside rear tires.  If you’re not yet familiar with that, and some owners go quite awhile before realizing it’s there, it has drawlatches hiding under the bottom edge.

David T. Richelderfer:
In our coach, the freshwater pump, Red Hat valve, and the source water connection and its filter for the fridge's ice maker are found behind a carpeted, aft sidewall cover board just inside the basement door ahead of the water bay door - that is the 2nd bay door ahead of the duel axle on the streetside of the coach.  Open the door, turn your head to the right (looking towards the rear of the coach) and the carpeted board is about one foot from your forehead.

Mike Gineris:
I found it! Right in front of the Grey and Black Water Tanks next to the Fresh Water all in local proximity.  I moved a bag out of the way and there in front of me was a sign on the hidden panel saying look here idiot!  Thank you for encouraging me to look again.  Filter and shut-off for ice maker too.
