The Good and the Bad

The Good:

Left my home base for Road Atlanta yesterday morning. Arrived at Road Atlanta and set up on my site. All is good...

The Bad:

Fresh water tank full, but virtually zero water flow.

Checked supply side screen - pristine

Motor runs, no flow.

Dead pump.

The Good:

This is a weekday, not a weekend.

Three Sureflo dealers within 10 miles. I will be calling the first one as soon as they open.

Hopefully later this am we will have water again. 2:00am bathhouse trips suck. Golf cart is nice.

You sure on the pump? Double-check the winterizing valves and possible kinked lines?


The water heater is full?

No need for 2am bathhouse trips...... Put a gallon jug of water by the toilet for flushing problem solved.

I full time and it worked just before hooking up for the trip. I have never winterized since I'm in it 12 months/year.

I agree, but I didn't have a jug to use.

The Good:

Camping World is 9 miles away and they had the pump. By 10:30am water was flowing again.

Sorry to hear it was the expensive item. I like to double-check the cheap stuff first.


Glad all is OK now.

I agree Mike. Since I full time I'm pretty well up on all of my systems since I use them 24/7/365. I had actually used the water system just before this trip so I know that it worked and all valves were correct. Somewhere in 250'ish miles it died. So once I determined the pump motor was working it was pretty obvious the pump mechanism had died. My plan is to get a rebuild kit for the old one and keep it for future use. I know that I won't always be where I can get a replacement so quickly.

Last time I checked (2012-ish) the rebuilt kits cost more than a new pump.

Tear your old pump apart first. Make sure the wobble plate mechanism isn't worn out or broken. IIRC the rebuild kits only included the rubber parts of the pump.

You might get lucky and find that a screw came loose.
