I'm thinking we are missing the start of the story. It may have started out like this: I left my battery at a full charge when I parked it in the Fall. I knew it was low so I plugged in to shore power a week before we left, this Spring.
What may have been happening is that the OP attempted to charge a fully depleted battery. That battery may have lived a full season with little care or proper charging. The Marine/starting batteries that are usually installed in a new TT will not survive a regimen like that for very long. At the least, the capacity of the battery has diminished from sulphation.
The water pump issue sounds like a misconfigured piping arrangement, maybe a valve is open that shouldn't be open (or closed that shouldn't be closed).
