Okay, since some of you asked. ;) The dish was dirty. We usually don't leave dirty stuff in the sink but we had visitors in our RV distracting us from our normal leaving the RV routine. Add to that the guests were elderly/disabled and the ground was covered in ice and snow and we are seriously distracted and the water pump gets left on accidentally.
The kitchen sink and faucet handle is located about 3 inches away from the foot of our bed at the back of our small 24ft RV. The dog jumps on the bed and has very easy access to the entire kitchen counter perfectly level with the bed. Anything left on the counter or in the sink gets "cleaned" by the dog. In the process of cleaning the dish, the dog bumps the faucet handle turning the water on easily as the faucet handle isn't the turn kind but the kind with the lever handle. A small bump and the water starts running. The fresh water tank empties and over flows into the shower. Some **** good times in RV land!
Now back to the water pump. ??
Yes, I am definitely over sensitive thanks to the small amount of water that over flowed from the shower when we started to move but luckily cleaned up quickly. That said, the water pump is louder and runs a little longer now. It almost sounds like it is working a little harder.
Yes! My dog climbs trees all the time. I have had to go up for him twice. He's part monkey. Some kind of Jack Russell hound mix.
