Winterizing My Passport elite 23rb

[Davepitt]

Can any one tell me where the water pump is? How can I get to the hot water heater.

Any advice or steps to winterize would be nice. Thanks

RV water pumps can be located by one of two ways. 1st, attempt to listen for the pump while its motor is running. Or secondly, locate the fresh water fill inlet on the outside of the RV. The pumps are usually positioned between the clean water tank and that inlet, most likely behind an interior trim panel.

As far as the water heater, it depends on what your objective is. Are you emptying/servicing it or attempting to initiate the 'bypass'? Have a walk around your unit and get to know your appliances. The hot water tank will be adjacent to the exterior access panel.

I have a 2015 23RB. Not sure which model year yours is but probably the same anyway.

The water pump is on the left side (driver side) of the bed. To access it, lift your bed to access 2 of the 4 screws holding down the top cover. The other 2 screws are next to the outside wall.

The hot water heater and bypass are in the cabinet under your sink to the left when facing the sink. To access the valve, you need to remove the false wall on the left side of the lower cabinet cavity by removing 2 screws holding the false wall to the floor. Once the false wall is removed, the valve will be found near the bottom of the tank between the tank and the tubing. Rotate it 90 degrees after draining the water and before adding antifreeze.

I blow out and use antifreeze when winterizing. The check list I use is found here: http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/album.php?albumid=735

Mine is the same as what Slow said.

My 2013 is the same as well. I don't think any of the major components have moved in the 23RB since they started building that model.

Thank You for the information. Have a super week. David
