2015 Cougar 333MKS access panels

[AHoyMate]

Hi folks.
I used to winterizing my old travel trailer in about 30 minutes.
I purchased an awesome new 2015 Cougar 333MKS 5th wheel this year.

I cannot find the access panel to the water heater or the water pump.:banghead:
Does anyone know how to get to the bypass valve & pump? Pictures would be great.
Thanks

I have a 2016 Cougar 327Res and there is no factory access panel. You have to unscrew the basement wall behind closet to the hot water heater to get to the bypass. Then do the same thing on the opposite side of the basement to access the water pump. I went to Lowes plumbing department and bought access doors, traced them out on the wall boards, and used a jigsaw to cut the holes and then used adhesive to attach them to the walls. Easy to access now.

We have a 2013 331MKS and the water pump is behind the basement wall the pump connection is the quick connect type so you may want to purchase a connector and a length of hose it makes winterizing easy. Or do as we do go south for the winter lol
