Funny, have had 5 rv's 4 of them new. Every one of them would cycle for a second every few hours. No external leaks, the pump check valve just looses a little pressure and the pump cycles. No big deal unless you make it one.
I agree ,but it seems some do not, they think we have some kind of problem that needs addressing. Seems every RV I have owned did this, had a very short cycle now ,and then. Never worried about it, and have never seen a problem.
I do not think that at all. Just expressing my experiences.
For piece of mind, a thorough inspection would be in order though.
I think I got lucky with my rig, though. We had two problems (that I did not cause) over the years.
The first was that the outside shower did not work. Dealer fixed it under warranty. Turned out that the furnace install pinched both hot and cold water feed so no water out of it.
The second was the power steering hose rubbed through on a bracket on the engine. Ford Truck dealer fixed it and Coach-Net picked up the hotel bill.
I was happy with the couple times we used coach net but decided not to renew when the comp subscription ran out. As I said I have been lucky (knock on wood) and have had few problems
Sure, I had to replace the kitchen drawer rail brackets and a few latches and the plastic vent lids and the awning fabric and tires (On the third set now) and batteries.
I have had to replace a few bulbs and the fluorescent tube fixture in the garage broke and the circuit breaker for the lift gate rotted away.
I caught the front edge of the passenger side front fender on a chain stretched over a driveway and the side molding was damaged when DW scraped the booth at the Sac Fairgrounds.
The plastic cover over the driver seat belt fell off and the screws holding the partition pulled out and the power steps got rusty and the magnetic switch for them failed and the shower valve screw came out and it exploded in my hand.
The shower head sprang a leak and I popped several fuses and breakers over the years and the bathroom fan blades disintegrated and the antenna was left up at the wrong time and the dash radio antenna fell off and we froze the water heater tank.
There has been some slight De-lamination, I took out the rear wheel well trim when a tire blew and the windows had to be re-caulked.
On the whole, though, it has been a good, reliable rig. No real engine problems, no real drive-train problems and I have always been able to get the genny started and running
