No water flow when dry camping
I just bought a 1999 Coachman Mirada and we took it dry camping and we had no water flow. So when we came back I hooked up to city water hose and the flow was fine. So I bought a direct replacement ...

As folks suggested check all your valves / switches first. If not that then it could be the problem I just had last week:
My problem was two fold. 1- filter from tank to pump needed cleaning. 2- The fitting on the tank ( outlet to pump ) itself was clogged somehow inside the tank...must be a screen on the inside. Mine was glued not screwed into the tank, so rather than risk messing the tank up I kept back flushing the connection with a water hose. Also put in clorox, filled tank, and let it sit for a couple of hours, back flushed some more and now the system works as it should.
Also, you can hook a hose to the pump outlet. If it pumps out ok you know the problem is after the pump. If you still get a dribble your problem is between the tank and pump.
