I have a 2005 IFF31W that I am completly remodelling. The previous owner cut many water lines. If anybody sees this that has this model, can you take a picture of the compartment that holds the water pump. It's on the passenger side and holds the water heater and pump.

I'm looking for an image that shows where all of the PEX pipe and flexible tubes connect.

There is no diagram that I can find that shows this layout and I'm having trouble figuring out how to put things back where they were originally from the factory.

Thanks!
 
Bit of confusion perhaps?
I do not find that location for the water tank and pump?
Using this drawing info for that year/model, I see the water heater and pump at far rear on driver's side????

Looking at this drawing info, there seems to be a problem with the model and what you see?
They are going through the online info and reducing the value of the info a great deal, so this may be glitch in their posting or some other problem?
Missing the correct model on one or the other?
Not sure what is driving the decision to reduce the support we have gotten for so long, but it appears to be a major change from past years and it is certainly making things harder for the DIY folks to dig out the info we need on plumbing and electrical!
Just as a small point on the drawing that gives us so little help, one small clue is that the cold water goes in to the heater on the lower tube and hot comes out of the tank on the higher tube.
I see no real help on sorting the lines at the pump, though!
My only suggestion there would be that the water has to go in on the side that has the small little filter. Idea to filter water BEFORE going through the pump? I normally think of that line as coming pretty direct from near the bottom of the fresh holding tank!
Simple thinker idea of finding which line comes from the tank to the pump? Put water in the tank and see where it comes out when the drain is closed?
But the bigger, first issue is making sure this model info meets what you have! Way to easy to get bad info, so keep in mind this may not be correct at all!

Wish you luck on a tricky one!

Hello. Yes, can you can see that the diagrams and that picture don't show the entirety of the water pipes in that compartment, which is exactly why I'm hoping somebody has this model and can take some pictures with their phone.

I also found that exact image on the operator manual, and if only they took the photo at a different angle I would see the rest of the pipes!
 
Okay, see my error and confusion due to not knowing the RV! I was seeing the heater as being at driver's rear when it actually sets at passenger front! Had my RV turned around 180 degrees!
If the picture on page 10-8 is not good enough, a call to Winnebago may be quicker as the odds of somebody dropping in to have the same RV may be pretty slow.
One of the things I noticed is that Sunstar was a pretty limited issue as it only shows in the 05-06 years in the 31 foot. That likely means there will be very few left out and about after 20 years!
Possible and possible one of those folks will drop in here, but you can see that may be a long shot, if you might get the better info from Winnebago!
