RE: Rv TV
My mailman rents his trailer out A LOT.
He thinks is great because it’s paying the payment. I asked him about wear and tear and he replied “hmm never thought about that.”
I bought my camper’s because I don’t like sleeping in some else’s bed….
I told him he owns a REAL motel……

RE: Theft at a State park.......
The question I have to ask: Are you 100% sure it was there when you arrived??
In our travels we have passed a few on the side of the road, which was probably a surprise to the owner when they went to get it.
I'm guessing the bumper plug laying on the ground ruled out lost on the highway...
BINGO!

Theft at a State park.......
Who in the world would want someone else's SEWER HOSE?
Woke up yesterday morning at Chain-O-lakes state park in northern Indiana (park was full) and walked around to the rear of the RV.
Bumper plug on the ground and stinky slinky GONE.......
I carry a couple in the bumper and the other one was still there......
Stupid is all I can think to say........

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
So, I filled the FW tank when I got home and turned on the pump and let it run with the sink faucet on.
It took a couple of minutes but sure enough, it starting spitting water and air. I turned every sink, shower and activated the flush valve until all stopped sputtering.
Strange thing was, the pump never completely shut off. It slowed to a VERY slow “idle” but kept turning. Then, it stopped completely and now won’t come back on. I think I toasted it but haven’t checked the fuse yet.

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
On my shurflo 4008 pump the problem was a stuck pressure valve under the diaphragm. There was a You tube video on how to fix it by a channel by the name "Why Wait"
Yes, someone posted that link and I believe that’s the only thing that could have happened.
It’s going to be one heck of a challenge to get the pump out but it’s got to be done.
I’ll update my findings when it’s working again.
Thanks for all the replies!

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
Is there a valve in the wrong position (or not quite all the way in the correct position)?
Drain valve? Winterizing valve? Bypass valve? Water heater valves?
Nope. We stopped and used the pump on the way to our campsite.

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
Yup if you have plenty of water and there is a crack in the inlet side of the pump or the hose feeding it.. It can suck air once the water level drops below the level of the pump.. Many forget to empty the inlet strainer in the fall.
There may be a shut off valve.
The outlet strainer on the tank can clog (inlet strainers almost never clog because they are secondary to the outlet but .. it's not impossible)
Pump can fail in assorted ways.
And last... Did you VISUALLY verify water in the tank or trust the @Q#$#@ sensor panel?
Just pulled the dump valve on the FW tank. PLENTY of water coming out. I’m draining it for the trip tomorrow.

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
Wait until I upload a picture of where the pump is located. I’m going to need to cut an access hole or drop the power panel to get to it.

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
check fuse. if your reading the empty/full gauge? they are not very good at telling the true water left in the tank.
Pump runs but doesn’t pump.

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
Pump is self priming. How did you verify the tank is full?
I pulled the drain, let some of the water out and then refilled it. It’s full.

Why did my water pump stop pumping?
Hello!
On the way to our campsite, we used the pump several times.
Got all set up and turned on the pump and it runs but won’t pump.
All fittingsare tight, tank is full but no water is pumping.
Could it have lost its prime?
Thanks
