Derek Uzzell Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Welcome to the Out&AboutLive forums, John. A difficulty responding to enquiries from a buyer of an older motorhome is that, whatever the vehicle’s technical specification was when it was originally built, previous owners may have modified it significantly. Motorhomes normally have either a ‘submersible’ water pump that will be inside the fresh-water tank and runs quietly, or a ‘pressure sensitive’ pump that will be mounted outside the fresh-water tank and runs noisely (or at least noisily enough to usually detect roughly where the pump is located). https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/motorhomes/articles/practical-advice/motorhome-advice-motorhome-and-campervan-water-systems-explained I notice that, on the Auto-Sleepers Owners Forum (ASOF) the same question as yours was asked last year in relation to a 1999 Symphony. The advice given was that the Symphony would have had as standard a SHURflo-branded (pressure sensitive) water pump and that this was located under a false floor in a cupboard beneath the cooker. So try looking there to begin with... (Auto-Sleepers has used submersible or pressure-sensitive pumps according to whim and - when a pressure-sensitive pump has been chosen - Auto-Sleepers has often carefully hidden this or made it very inacessible.) It would be worth you joining the ASOF https://www.autosleeper-ownersforum.com/ as that’s where the expertise lies (or should lie ;-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Most pumps make a noise when running, especially when there is no water. Do not run the punp dry for long as damage might occur but the noise should give you an idea where the pump is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmold Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I had a 97 Symphony and it was definitely under the false floor in the bottom cupboard under the cooker (you'll also find the charger under there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Paul It was your Sun 6 Dec 2020 - 17:16 posting on this ASOF thread that I used as a source. https://www.autosleeper-ownersforum.com/t28799-water-pump (Hopefully John Pike will confirm whether or not his 1996 Symphony’s pump was also hidden beneath the cooker...)

I thought it probably was, I must have given the same reply at least a dozen times over on ASOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
