We bought a 2008 25f camper and we are getting ready to winterize it. We have looked at all the manuals and can't seem to find the water pump and heater. We have drained everything else but this. Any help?

it should be inside where the city water goes in, example, my city water connection is near the sofa, under the sofa is my pump...
be sure to bypass the hot ater heater or u will use up to 7 gal of antifreeze

If you drained your water system there should be nothing needed for the water pump. When you, either blow air in the system, OR pump in antifreeze it will replace any residual water in the water pump. There is NOTHING to drain concerning the furnace. If by "heater" you mean your water heater, it should have INSIDE access as indicated by the OUTSIDE access door. If you have a by-pass system installed you will then operate the (one, two or three) valves, then from the OUTSIDE access door, you remove the drain plug. CAUTION: Make sure you relieve the pressure by opening a faucet BEFORE you remove the plug to avoid "eating it" There is no need to remove the residual water left after it empties but do make certain you replace the plug in the drain (with a new plastic one if it's an Attwood) for winter storage.

Good luck / Skip
