How much to repair?
When I turned my pump on for the first time since winterizing it, it makes the normal noise like it's pumping, except no water pressure builds up. I'm guessing the fitting is broken ? Or the pump ?...

You said you could hear the pump coming on, and if so, try to track down the spot the sound is coming from for the location of the pump. They are normally in a cabinet or compartment with a removable panel for access. Sounds like you might also have the valves set wrong and still in the winterize position. Should not be too hard to sort out, even if you have to get a mobile RV tech over to look at it.
Thank you for your help. I was the one who winterized it, I opened each valve one by one, while having an air compressor blowing air through the lines. Once water stopped coming out, I stopped.
So I can see why there'd be tons of air in the lines.
I may go up to the camper this weekend. I will try to run the pump again. And locate it, and try to get water to come out.
Is there anything wrong with, turning on cold water on my sink, then turning on the pump and waiting, with the idea the pump will "push" all the air out that line, then close it or just wait for water ?
Is the pump being "tricked" into thinking there is water pressure, when in reality, it is just "air pressure" with a little bit of water pressure ?
