Replacement Water Pump
I'm going to carry a replacement water pump as a spare. I'm interested in max flow and quiet operation. Any recommendations?

A good pump can obviously last a long time. My camper is 20 years old, and the original lasted about 18 years. I use my pump all the time, and prefer to never hook to an external water supply.
I don’t think the answer is going to be the same across the board. It depends on what you can do without a water pump, or perhaps despite a leaking pump. In my case, I had a major mess even on campground water.
I also do a wide range of camping, everything from remote boondocking to very pricey “resort” glamping (at the ones that don’t frown on TC’s anyways). There are some places I can’t do without a water pump.
Putting in the shutoff valve has changed my options somewhat, so that now I can close the valve and connect to campground water even if my water pump is removed entirely. I can also replace the pump with very little mess now, too.
If AquaPro hadn’t warranty replaced the failed pump, I can’t say if I’d buy a spare or not. But, the OP did say he was going to carry a spare, so there’s that.
