Got our t@da out of storage about a week ago. De-winterizing today, leaving for WI early tomorrow. We were so busy last fall that we took it into our local RV place to have it winterized. Went to flush the tanks today, for some reason we couldn't get much water pressure coming out of the faucets when we hooked up to City water, and we had to sanitize the fresh water tank anyway. so we filled it up, turned on the water pump, and ended up with water running down the floor of the trailer. I think the water event occurred when I turned on the water pump.It did not sound like it normally does. By the time we realized what was happening , water was running out of the trailer, and probably 2 inches deep by the corner by the sink. ( Our driveway isn't completely flat so the trailer was slanted forward a bit ) I checked the hot water heater that was fine, next thought was a lose connection, that's when I discovered that the water was coming from what i call, the "head" of the water pump, a little housing that sits next to the pump. I have a pic of it, but my camera is already packed. I can post it later for clarification if needed. We are wondering if they forgot to put anti freeze in the water pump or if they didn't put enough in it. We'll be using bottled water on this trip, since we really don't have time to deal with it before we leave. Thank goodness we'll only be gone a few days and our cassette toilet is separate, at least we'll have that to use. Any suggestions on how we can know if that is the problem? All was working fine when we had it winterized. It was stored inside through the winter. Guess we'll take it back to the rV place when we return. we've known them for years and they are honest people, a family run place, so if it was their mistake, I think they'll stand behind their work, and if the pump does need replacing they'll replace it.
Could something else cause this problem?
Thanks for the input on this. I need to go fill water bottles now.
