Motor / fan noise
When I plug my 24' Argosy into city power I get a running motor sound that eminates from under the sink or near there. There is a vent near the bottom of the sink stand that seems to be sucking air through the vent from this sound. Near as I can tell it is not the water pump which is located near the back. Is this an air exhaust vent for the bathroom.
I won't be hooking up to water or using the toilet and want to shut this thing off. How do I do this(shut it off). I could not find anything(at first glance) in the floor plans or schematics.

That's where the Intellipower that replaced the Univolt is located in my Trade Wind. It has a fan, like one in a computer, that cools the unit. It does not run when not plugged in because the Intellipower is not charging the battery.
Hi kirkbride -- good answer (welcome to the forums BTW). That's a good step to start with.
Under the streetside stove is the HW heater (no noise) and the furnace is under the sink -- or was on my '74. My water pump was under the streetside armrest on the gaucho. While hearing the noise I'd probably get down low between the sink and gaucho -- figure which one it might be.
I think '76 was the same but the Univolt probably is under your bathroom wardrobe closet -- so unlikely to be the noise you're reporting.
