2018 Montana 330RL water control valve

The valve should always be in NORMAL unless you are connected to city water and want to add water to the fresh water tank. Then turn it to FILL just long enough to add however much water you want in that tank. ...

We picked up our new 2019 Montana on Tuesday this week. We've been driveway camping every night and now we are at General Butler State Park in Kentucky for a 4 day week-end.

I've been on the phone with my dealer 3 times since we took delivery because the water pump keeps kicking off about once very minute. They told me to check for leaks, the pump, you name it. Brand new trailer and I've had to tear it apart already looking for something that didn't exist.

It hit me Friday afternoon, when I was sitting in the pass-through bay with that wall removed, exposing all the wires and plumbing, and I'm scratching my head, running my hands over each water line trying to figure out how everything is run and then it hit me like a ton of bricks ... all at once!

THAT FILL VALVE! I flipped it back to the "Normal" position and off "FILL" and I'll be a monkey's uncle .... it's not pulsated at all ever since! DUH! The walk through didn't explain that one to me!

But then I was fiddling with it again, after I got the wall screwed back in place and everything put back in the basement. For some reason, the pump was just running and running and running, and I wasn't getting water anywhere, except a trickle. I'm thinking to myself.... "Oh boy! What did I just mess up?"

I finally went back out and looked at all the valves... HA! HA!... I had flipped the valve on for "winterize" and the pump was just sucking air! (Kick me in the arse!)

All is well now! I'm a happy camper again! By the way, General Butler State Park in Kentucky really has a NICE campground.
