All, just came back from a drycamp trip..Filled up my fresh tank as usual and the water pump runs but nothing out of the faucets..Hooked up to city water everything is fine..hot water etc..put the winterizing hose in a bucket of water troubleshooting but wont pull water..have ran it dozens of times prior and the same protocol and never had anything like this happen..Thoughts? Thx in advance folks!

I had to replace my pump head because it lost prime the same way. After messing with it for a day and disassembling it, I never found where it was leaking. Your motor and power is fine.

If all that fails, take the head of the pump apart and rinse the parts off under water. Then re-assemble.
I've had to do this several times over the years when the pump picks something up. Most liekly plastic from the manufacturer cutting the tank.

Check the fuse, but pumps do die sometimes. See if you can hear if it is running or not.
