2018 hideout water tank location

Anyone know how to access the water tank in the 2018 hideout. The tank is under the bed but no access. And no access through the pass through storage. Only way I can think is to cut open the tarp underneath…

Your post is a bit confusing, is the tank in the underbelly, or inside the trailer?

Any user serviceable parts of your hot water heater can be accessed from the outside access door.

You might want to explain what you're trying to do before disassembly attempts.

Good Luck,

I think he's trying to get to the freshwater holding tank, not the water heater.

The last Hideout I was in was a 2013 model. The fresh water tank was under the bed, just forward of the hinge that separates the "lift up under bed storage space" from the rest of the bed platform. If you remove the mattress, you should find about 15 or 20 screws holding that "front piece of OSB" to the bed platform. Remove those screws from both sides and the forward bulkhead (leave the hinge screws in place as they keep both parts of the platform together) and then lift the entire platform off of the bed base.

You'll see the fresh water tank, fill hose and the pickup hose for the water pump located in that compartment.

The fresh water tank is not located under the trailer, but is "inside where it's warm". The black and gray tanks are "semi exposed" under the trailer and may (or may not) be covered with a coroplast liner. On many Hideouts, the tanks and the dump valves are exposed, which means those trailers are, at best, 3 season trailers (with emphasis on late spring, summer and early fall) as soon as the temperature starts dropping below freezing, the exposed tank valves and plumbing runs will prohibit dumping the tanks, even if they don't actually freeze. Just having the valves frozen means the tanks no longer function properly....

Anyway, your fresh water tank is probably under that "hidden box cover" in the bed platform.
