The pump arrived today. I'm going to need a few plumbing bits to make it work, but it's the same principle and controlled by a pressure switch (included). Instead of the old solenoid arrangement, it came with a relay kit and 60 amp circuit breaker.
The primary wire JetCo used was pretty small (12 gauge) for the 35-foot run. I guess it worked, but I'm paranoid so I ordered some 4-gauge wire to run from the battery to the pump.
The pump mounts differently (so does the Jet Co replacement) from the original so I will need to find a new home for it. The storage tank is installed at the rear of the RV. Directly above it, inside and under a bed, is plenty of room to mount the compressor. I think I'll put it in there for ease maintenance. It won't run while I'm parked so noise shouldn't be a concern. I don't think so anyway - I'll know soon.
