Why did my water pump stop pumping?
Hello! On the way to our campsite, we used the pump several times. Got all set up and turned on the pump and it runs but won’t pump. All fittingsare tight, tank is full but no water is pumping. ...

Deja vu… mine did that a few years ago. Suddenly no pumping and I’ll be dipped if I could find the problem at the CG with the general tools I had. It was the brass pex fitting at the pump inlet got a tiny crack in it. I got home and replaced it with a genuine plastic fitting and have not had any more problems. ANY tiny leak on the suction side will break the prime!
FWIW, I discovered an internal strainer at the water outlet of my water tank and I didn’t want to take a chance of that thing clogging up someday. I used a drill bit to get a hold of the strainer and it slid right out and then I put a strainer at the pump inlet. When I had my pumping problem I figured it was an air leak at that strainer but, hail no, it couldn’t be that simple.
