Waterpump replacement
My 2015 Jayco Redhawk has a defective waterpump. I got power and the motor runs, all connections are good, it just does not pump, so it has to be the pump. Will any replacement pump work or do I need ...

I don't know about the plastic tanks, but the steel tanks have 10-15-20 psi so the tank empties out when there is no water pressure.ron.dittmer wrote:Excellent idea about installing an accumulator tank. Just be sure that you can drain out the water (tank above the low point drain) if you need to winterize the unit.
Shurflo seems to be a very popular brand of RV pump. When doing the job, I advise to consider adding an accumulator tank like THIS ONE for it will increase the life of the pump, provide consistent water pressure (especially nice when showering), and reduce pump noise. I added a 2 gallon tank 8 years ago and love it. I only wished I spent the money on the one I recommend to save space in my outdoor storage compartment....nice to mount the pump on top of the tank instead of what I did HERE.
