Here's another possibility... Water pressure coming into the trailer is fine. But, the water heater warms the water causing expansion, with the check valve preventing back flow into the water hose - the weakest link bursts.
You basically have a closed system, check valve on the hose inlet, and a check valve on the pump... You need a leaky faucet! Or an expansion tank, or a relief valve. I have an expansion tank.
