where the ^#(( is the water pump and the bypass valve on an Adventurer? Keep in mind that this is the first time of use.
We've searched EVERYWHERE, took out drawers, opened every storage hole, found nothing. We can hear it but nothing is coming out of the faucets. We filled water in the fresh tank. Whereever it is, it must be horrible to reach. We have a wet bath and there is no access panel to anything. Goodness knows what will happen if there's a leak.
Poor DH is so frustrated. He figured it would be easy like our 5er. HA!
Please assist...again. Just one more example of how bad our dealer was. They pointed at 2 valves under the TC and said "those are your bypass valves." NOT!
So much for our maiden voyage...we'll probably end up going to the dealer instead.
You can't see me...but this is my VERY UNHAPPY FACE.

12 volt water pump: The water should always be primed to the tap first by the hand pump once the water is at the tap the 12 volt pump can then be used. This will prolong the life of the 12 volt pump considerably.

Bypass Valve is under the step up to the bed in my 86sbs.
You'll need a box end driver to get the screws out of the step.

how does one prime it by hand?
I'm so confused. DH is now thinking that it's a pump issue. He's pretty handy on all things like this.

Never did it this way, don't have a hand pump and in fact my pump has run dry (not recommended and don't ask why) for a couple of hours. I then added water to the tank and it started to pump right away.
As for the original post good luck locating it, wish I could help.

In our 90FWS the water pump is in the step up to the overhang. The screws that hold the top down are hidden in the carpet.
I fill the hot water tank with the city water connector, other wise the pump runs a long time transferring the water over.

It is there. You might have to dig in the carpet for the screws. It is behind the fuse panel.
