A friend has a 2012 13QBB and her water pump turns on but no water comes out.  How do you access the water pump under the sofa?

When facing the sofa the water pump is on the right hand side, behind the power converter. to get at it you have to remove the jackknife sofa from the base and then remove the 36 inch by 60 inch (nominal dimensions) aluminum sheet that covers the top of the base. Not a difficult job. Two people makes quick work of removing the sofa. You will find that there is water filter on the intake side of the pump. Unscrew the clear plastic filter cup and check the filter screen located inside the cup. If gunked up clean as necessary and clean/sanitize the fresh water tank. Depending on where the gunk originated from you may find you have to clean the tank, run the water, clean the filter screen a number of times before you get it all out of the system.  Good luck with your repair.

Thanks for the response, after removing all that stuff (not hard but an access plate would be nice) found that the folks who winterized her camper never hooked up the in-take line from the tank! Took 15 minutes to get to the pump and 1 minute to fix the problem.
