Compartment location for water heater etc-2016 big horn 3160

just bought this used 5th
I’m a newbie
Not sure where the water heater, pump, etc are

Here is a photo of a board that is carpeted and screwed to the rear wall in the storage compartment.
Could that be it?
Don’t want to take it apart and climb over the sliding storage tray the prior owner put in.
Thx

most likely the pump is behind that panel on the drivers side; water heater will be elsewhere

Look around on the outside of the rig for a small door with a vent at the top of it. Water heaters are generally installed with access to the front from the outside of the rig.

David-Steph2018 is right. On typical builds, they bundle the pump near the water heater. On my toyhauler (yes, I know it is different than yours), it was on the passenger side. Just look for the panel on the outside of your rig - that's where the water heater is. If you look in your rig's basement, the panel that would gain access to the area behind the water heater will have about a half-dozen screws holding it in. You can safely remove the panel. Even if it is the wrong panel, it's always a good idea to look around and get familiarized with your rig's internals. Take pictures too - so that you can look back on it later.
