Tips When Your RV Water Pump Isn’t Working On Your Trip

When you’re on the road, it’s never a good thing when your rv water pump not working. The problem is that there are so many parts to an RV – and so many things can go wrong with them. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to help get your water working again during your trip. Read this article for tips from a fellow RVer who has been in this situation before.

Try Charging Your RV’s Battery

If you’re having issues with your water pump, it may not be working because the battery is low. While camping at a site where electricity is available, try charging or jump-starting your RV’s battery to see if that corrects the issue. It’s also possible that some of the fuses in your RV may have blown, so be sure to check those as well. Since water pumps are usually placed near the bottom of your RV, it’s also possible that something has fallen onto or hit the pump and damaged it. Make sure to check around the area where the water is coming out for any leaks or damage – you may need another part besides just a new fuse.

Check for Broken Fuses

If your RV’s battery is fully charged and the water pump still isn’t working, it may be that one or more of the fuses have blown. Check your RV’s fuse box for any broken fuses and replace them accordingly. Just make sure you know which ones are for the water pump before you replace them. If you’ve checked the fuses and there aren’t any leaks around your water pump area, then one of the wires may be either unplugged or loose. It may also be that a wire has broken off and needs to be replaced entirely.

Check the RV Water Pump To Ensure Sure It’s Not Clogged

One of the last things you want is for your new part to be broken as well. Before installing a brand-new faucet and water pump, make sure that nothing (including any leftover chemicals) has gotten into them. If something does get in there – like chlorine or another chemical, it can damage the new water pump and faucet. Moreover, ensure all of your faucets are turned off and that there is no standing water in the sink, bathtub, or shower. Be sure to check all of your sinks and showers (and even outside) for any remaining moisture before replacing the parts. Even a tiny amount can cause damage to the new feature, and you will have to get a replacement anyway.
