Location of Fleetwood Saratoga water pump?

[thebecks]

The Fleetwood Users Manual says to change the filter on the water pump.
Would someone please tell me where the water pump is located on a 2008 Saratoga?

If it is the same as the Niagara..
Take a look under the dinette slide, you will need to remove the four screws that hold the base plate on and then just pull'er off.
The slide does need to be pulled out to have easy access to the pump.
I check my filter before the start of every season (3rd) and have yet to need to replace it.

Thanks for the info.  It's good to know.  I just bought a 2007 Saratoga that seems to have everything stripped out of it that wasn't nailed or screwed down.  I understand there's supposed to be a "self storing outside stove".  Where might it be self storing?  

(Not looking to hijack the thread.  OP's question seems to be answered.  Hoping "where is" questions on the Saratoga to be on topic.)

Thank you, very much. Especially thanks for assuring there is no urgent need to check it.  Will look at the filter during this weekend's camping trip.

Like the curb side tank drain mod, on you PUP.  Very handy.

Ah, Life on the Road.

Hah!  I found it.  The whole kickplate, at the bottome of the glideout, on the inside comes off.  Who knew?
Voila! A water pump, wiring, and lots of dust.  The pump filter had some floaties in it.  So glad to have that done.  Made the DW happy by vacuuming under there.

Thank again.

'08 models have the
stove compartment box stove compartment box

as seen on the body panel (# 14 stove door)

The '07 curbside body panel 'right rear' view doesn't show the compartment, just the stove support brkt.

Ya sure '07 it has a "self storing outside stove"? The RVQ was an option in lieu of the stove.

Thanks for the info.  It has the propane quick connect.  Seems to be high pressure.  From what I've read, it seems as though it should have the stove.  It's very difficult to find out anything specific to the 2007 models, though.  Highlanders may not have had that until '08 and later.

The 07 came with either the RVQ or an outside stove.  I have the RVQ and stow it under the dinette when folded.  The self-storing stove came later, but I'm not sure when.

High pressure? I don't think so.

Coleman uses threaded connector for the 16 psi high pressure connection on the side of the PU. The quick disconnect is regular ole everyday standard low pressure (11" water column) of about .5 lb/sqr in.

Does seem odd that a high pressure outlet would use the quick connect.  I think we've got the dual regulator.  Doesn't that indicate high and low pressure lines exist?  Or do I have it backwards?

I have an RVQ grill and extension lines with our TT.  The outlet there is low pressure.  If it is a low pressure line on the pup, I could use the RVQ with the pup.

To use propane indoors (PU or TT) requires a dual stage regulator.
1st stage is ~10 psi, second is 11" wc.

Coleman's (atwood) outside high pressure stove needs 16 psi input.
A tee is placed after a 16 psi regulator to deliver 16 psi propane to the threaded 'high' pressure connector, the other side of the tee goes into a dual stage regulator. Back before they made one piece 2 stage regulators, Coleman used a 1st stage set at 16 psi, a tee then a 2 nd stage set at 11" wc!

Yes, you RVQ can be used on the PU's quick connect.


I know folks that have the Atwood high pressure outside stove like them, but Coleman sure caused confusion by going this route, no one else does and now Coleman has revived the high pressure outside stove (that does well in wind BTW) on 2008s on!
