I put water in the tank for the first time today.
Had to go to the manual to find the switch to
turn the pump on. Okay, found that, turned it
on, yellow light comes on, NO water from any
faucet.

More digging in the manual follows. Removed the
somewhat fixed bed a P.O. installed and got down
to the pump. Pump is running, but no water being
delivered. There's a strainer of sorts in the
line from the bottom of the tank to the pump and
it HAD been leaking some water when I first turned
the pump on. I haven't gotten if fully apart yet,
but I think one half of the housing MAY be cracked.

Does this pump actually pump water or is it similar
to other boat and RV pumps that pump only air to
pressurize the tank? The motor is running fine, so
is maybe a rebuild kit available for the pump?


Also, the manual speaks of an auxilliary fill point
in the propane compartment that must be capped, but
I can't find any such fill.

I also have no idea as to whether the propane system
works, but we could do without it. There is NO way
we can use the coach w/o water!

Suggestions, brilliant or otherwise, welcomed!

On a good note, both A/C are running and putting out
"cool" air. Whether it is sufficient for Shawnee is
yet to be discovered!

Battery charging system is still screwy. I think the
wiring on the house battery system must be missing
something. I need to compare what I have back there
to somebody's coach that is working properly. I am
pretty sure that the wiring from the new converter
is not correct and maybe can get some help when we
get to Shawnee.

We WILL have alternate transportation there!!
