Water pump location

[blue blob]

Hey all,
I have a 238 ML passport and want to winterize it myself this year. Any thoughts on were the water pump would be located and any tips on winterizing? I have spent some time on youtube and it seems pretty straight forward. Thanks ahead of time!

LOL, I sort of figured that, I didn't know if there were any other insight on the topic!

How does your tundra pull your trailer....I have a 2010 CM 5.7 L and pulls pretty well!

Thanks again!

Even us techs that work on RV's every day do it this way.

Turn it on and listen (x3). If you use the forum's search function and type in "winterizing", you'll find a ton of information already on here for you to read.

Look to see where the fresh water fill is and go to the closest enclosed area to it inside and chances are the pump is there. You will most likely need a screw driver and square head to get to it. Or, as others have said, turn it on.

Pulls it with no problem

Biggest issue I had was getting all the water out of the hot water heater. You have to remove the panel at the back of the rear storage to access the HW bypass. I used air to blow everything out. Had to repeat several times to get HW heater empty even after pulling the low point and plug.

I syphon the last bit of water from the HWT using a 1/4" diameter hose.

Just understand that there is no "winterizing" reason to get the water lying on the floor of the water heater tank out of there. Even if it freezes, it can't possibly damage anything because there is plenty of room for expansion. The same is true for your fresh water tank. There could easily be as much as a gallon lying on the floor of that tank after draining it, but the same condition and reasoning applies. Plenty of expansion space in both instances.

Some take the opportunity to clean out any sediment that might be on the floor of the water heater tank. I do that in the spring with a fresh water flush before replacing the plug/anode for the season.
