Alde glycol expansion tank locations

I keep reading and researching on line for where the tank is that the glycol goes into.  I have yet to see a picture of where it is.  My T@B is a 2014 and I am sure it has never been maintained.  Where do I start?

    A 2014 T@B S Max (with bathroom/shower) has the glycol reservoir in the driver’s side rear under the long shelf. There are two (maybe three) square drive screws holding the shelf in place. 

    A 2015 T@B CSS (Clam shell with bathroom/shower) has the glycol reservoir in the bathroom behind the cargo door behind the toilet.

    I don't have a bathroom or the clamshell.   Can I follow a line to it?  I have a 2014 Q.  Indoor kitchen, no bath.

    The Glycol reservoir in the 2014 is located underneath the rear, driver’s side shelf - secured by two screws.

    Hey I think I found it!   I can see something while in the corner under the shelf.   Now I just have to figure out how to get at it.  Thanks!!

    @SueDogWalker, I don't know about the 2014 Q model specifically (I am not familiar with it), but your camper photo looks just like a T@B 320S from the outside.............if it is the same general layout inside, maybe these photos will help.  When you remove the two screws, the panel slides out toward you.

    @Bayliss, the access via the panel was a 2016 model change.  The original Alde tanks starting with the 2014 models are under the rear shelf.  Here is the only picture I can find.

    Here's nuCamp's video, but as noted above the panel to remove varies between model years --

    “New to the 2021 320 S and Clamshell models - the tank is behind a panel under the wet-bath sink. White caps cover the screws holding the panel in place.”  
    See photo below, tank is circled in red:
