Did you look for access from inside the pass-through storage on the same side as the tank fill & water connection ports? Ours is in a similar location but is accessed from inside the camper (through a removable panel in the bedside cabinet base).

I've got the RBSWE, which I think is identical as far as the front bedroom layout. Mine is on the street side under the carpeted "nightstand." Lift the bed hatch, you will see the carpeted box extending "through" the compartment sidewall. The top surface slides into the compartment, carpet and all, exposing the pump.

(Ah, wait... I see now that you said 29, not 26. Well, give it a try, anyway.)

RK in your trailer type means rear kitchen? On our rear kitchen Cougar 5ver, there is only a couple feet of hose from where the water inlets are and our pump is under the nearest cabinet. You just take out two screws to remove a fake wood panel and the pump is right there.

When we installed a heavier mattress, I upgraded the gas struts, but the original geometry didn't scale well. The cover now has a neutral weight when closed (so I can't boost the struts any further), but still won't stay up when open. Rather than re-engineer the strut geometry, I just said screw it and cut a length of PVC.

Same issue after replacing our lightweight King with a couple sweet twins. A simple piece of pVC will save my shoulder! Thanks.

I had the 2018 Cougar 32RLI, and that's exactly where my water pump was (on the left side of the bed when you are standing at the foot of the bed.

Did you find yours ? Mine appears to be inside a nightstand but it is carpeted too.
