Winterizing panic rp177

   We have a 2014 rp177 and are racing to winterize. It dropped to -5C (23F) last night here in Quebec and the panic mode has set in because of time constraints. Can anyone tell us where our water pump is located?  Also, we bought the winter cover from Northern Tools. Recently we were told that it wasn't necessary to cover the pod. In fact, the RV dealer in question said it wasn't a good idea because it stopped the Pod from "breathing". We want to thank all who have furnished the winterization info and video that the forum contains. For 'newbies' this will lead us through the process with some greatly needed security!

	on my 2013, it is located under the sink..........you need to take the bottom panel off and the winterizing hose should already be connected; just need to turn the valve next to it

	as well as turning the bypass valves by the hotwater heater which can be accessed under the bed or through the access door in the under compartment storage (however this is a pretty tight squezze!!!!)
