noisy water pump
Anybody know how to quiet down my water pump? When the pump comes on it rattles the plumbing (really loud), Thor told me they put in a cheaper pump and to fix it I would have to put in a better qualit...

I was surprised to find plastic shavings in the strainer. I am assuming they come from the factory when the tank was drilled for the fitting all hoses, etc. to it. Winnebago should have better quality control than that. My bad for not checking sooner.
Before doing that...and this comes from experience...check at the inlet of the pump to see if you have a screen/filter gizmo, coming off the line>>> to the pump. If so, remove and clean, then see if that makes a difference. If not..then yeah, a pump change. You do it yourself and the pump is along about $75 or so. Shure-Flow.
