Damon Challenger water pump question

Hello.

We have a new to us 2010 Damon Challenger 36 footer with the bath and a half. Ive been messing around with the rig today and cant get the water pump to work. It turns on, when I open a faucet air comes out, when the air is purged from the faucet no water is coming out. Is there a valve that needs to be turned on by the pump itself? If so I cant seem to find it. Ive been looking for over an hour now at the pump and everywhere else and cant seem to find it.

Thanks

    Do you fill fresh water tank via gravity fill port OR do you fill via a 'water panel' in compartment? Gravity Fill

    Water in tank.....
    IF you have the water panel.......check that valving is not lined up to fill. N/A
    If it is pump will just round-robin water from tank back thru valve to tank I'm not sure what you mean

    The other things to check are cracked fittings on suction side of pump, the bowl with filter on suction side and suction line.....any leaks/cracks will just draw air into pump.
    I checked for water in the compartment where the pump is located. No water. I also cleaned the filter for the water pump.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I cant help but feel there is a shut off somewhere for the pump. It pumps air through the lines but not water. I just cant find it. When hooked up to my hose (city water) everything works as it should.
