We went to winterize our jayco 5th wheel and the pump wouldn't suck up the antifreeze, so after 40 minutes of searching youtube I came across your video. We followed your instructions and it worked , thank you very much for posting the video
Thank god for your video!!! My husband just blew a gasket when I told him there was no water pressure in the trailer after I use the tap. I quickly went to TH-cam and up came your video you are truly a godsend thanks 1 million. you saved us $$$$
thank-you! Our family was camping and didn't get into our campsite until LATE and our pump wasn't working. We NEEDED water. It was exactly the problem you posted, thanks for caring for others!
This video saved me from a lot of grief, I knew my pump was not pumping, figured I would need a rebuild kit. After taking apart my pump I found the exact same thing wrong with mine. Thank you...
This video just saved me buying a new water pump. I had taken it all apart once and cleaned it... still wouldn't work. Watched this video and my pump had the same issue. Its. It working perfectly. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for saving us a trip to RV Service! We have a 2017 Winnebago 2500RL that has never had a problem…till this one. We watched your video, tackled the pump & its working perfectly again! Thank you for breaking it down so clearly for us “non-mechanical” do it yourselfers!
Exact same issue here with my water pump, came across your video and it’s now fixed. Thank you for taking the time to make your video and sharing it! Cheers!!
My husband and I just want to say thank you for making this video. We too were having problems with our pump as it wouldn't pump when we filled it at home but thanks to you solving this for us
Your video was a game changer. We bought a used 1999 Starcraft and found we had no water even though the pump ran. We followed your instructions and bingo. Thank you... thank you... thank you!
I see that this video is over a year old but continues to help people including me. You just saved me $200 CDN and a days delay in camping. Thank you very much my friend!!!
Great advice. I’d gone through so many videos and forums all about shut offs etc. Saw this and was very doubtful it was going to make a difference after so many tries. turns out mine was stuck too! Was in shock when it all started working. Such a help, I’m in Texas during this bad winter storm with the city water down so was much needed thank you!
God bless you and I hope for the sake of the American people that that dictator gets out of office and we get back to being a strong independent nation again. I hope that everything gets better... God bless you and Texas
Thank you for posting this video!!! Got to my dry camping destination and had no water pressure. Took the pump apart and the "Stuck Button" was the issue. Thank you so much!
A+ Was about to buy a new pump but I am cheapo so I took a last look through the youtube and this vid caught my eye. I ran home on my lunch break and did the suggested steps and POW! It Works! Owe you a cold beer!! Much Love!
Thanks for the advice! That fixed my pump too. I also had a loose fitting on the intake side and it was pulling in air. I put in an O ring and works perfect now.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I checked all this but was not my issue. I found the connection to the water tank was lose. As well as the drain plug next to it. I purchased my RV used. Last owner tried putting putty around both connection. I removed all of it, pipe taped and tightened. Finally, problem solved.
Thank you more than 100 times. Same issue with my pump and now it works thanks to this video. I will admit I said some naughty things as I was taking it apart and putting it back together with all the room they provide under the sink.
Yeah I know exactly what you mean... My pump finally went out unfortunately but no big deal now since winter is coming. Thanks for watching and commenting ☺
I took pump apart and was puzzled until I saw your video.Like you said button was stuck and you had to push hard to break I free.Now it works like new and I will use it more frequently so this doesn't happen again. THANKS!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! for this video. I found you seeking help for my SureFlow pump failure. Turns out mine was the same issue. Thanks for your time and energy. Safe camping
Brand new RV, same problem different issue. Turns out the fresh water tank has to be full, not 1/3 full, to adequately prime the pump. Must have to have enough driving pressure to push the air out of the pump.
Turned out to be exactly the same issue. Thanks for posting this. You learn something new every day. Found out I also have a winterizing hose attachment. THAT job will be a whole lot easier this fall. I give you 5 👍👍👍👍👍 up. Thanks again. I wonder if a little silicone grease around that opening would fix the issue for good. I used a smidge on a tap valve replacement as advised by an rv service guy. Said it was non toxic so... might be a good idea next time it gets stuck.
That is a good idea I finally had to replace my pump it finally bit the dust. Glad that this helped you and I appreciate your watching and commenting. Happy camping
Hats off to you. Your video gave the the confidence to attack the problem, and to push really hard to unstick the plunger. And presto- its worked like a charm. Do you, or anybody else, know why it got stuck- something in the winterizing procedure?Again- thank you so much for your super- helpful video
Awesome and it was my pleasure making it. I don't know why it gets stuck maybe the quality of the water, lime calcium?? I only use air to winterize mine so I don't really know. Glad that you did figure it out though
We just bought a 2008 Jayco 232 (our first trailer!) and while ours wasn't the same problem just seeing the connections and the tubes/valves was helpful with the winterizing tube since the diagram in the manual lacked details. Thanx!!
Yep when I bought mine my salesman had no idea about much of anything. I have learned everything myself and I am still learning. Happy camping and drive safe.
My 2018 wldcat maxx had same issue. Took pumpmloose and loosened water connection. I think it got airlocked. Didnt have to pull mine apart. Did flip it upside down so either that or the loosing connection and letting air out for a few seconds did it. Thanks for your video. Got me going in the right direction.
So glad you were able to troubleshoot that! My husband and I just did a video on flushing our Atwood hot water heater. I haven't put it up yet, but it will be up soon. Much easier than I thought. Great to see you!
I also needed help with my pump. But it was full of plastic shavings from the build. It is a new rv. I placed a screen in front of the pump to the tank. There will be lots of bits of plastic shavings for others too. Then I can avoid the pump dismantle another day. The plan...thanks for your help!!
Yep unfortunately they probably sell alot of pumps due to them having problems just like this. Glad that you fixed yours and am proactive. Happy camping
Plumbing....uuggh...but yeah, I always, always try and fix everything myself. I ain't skeered!..lol. Good video, brother!! Nice camper too, by the way!
Thank you thank you thank you, we followed your instructions about pushing on the pushy valve thing 🤣 and yay it worked 🤗 Awesome mate, cheers from Australia 👍😁
Thank you!!! Going to try this tomorrow! Our water was working last week, we ran out, did a dukp.and refill and then nothing. Hope it's a simple fix like this. Fingers crossed.
Could be my problem too. Today the first day I turned my pump on and no water. Then after a minute sputtered water from bathroom sink. Nothing from kitchen. Then slow weak flow from kitchen, I'm going outside now to test it again making sure I keep faucets shut because I heard you say that in the beginning of you video. Similar thing happened last year. Shurflo has a pretty good tech support, I think in California. Thanks for caring and sharing
My pleasure... Im hoping that you fix your problem. It's an easy fix for sure. Keep me posted if that fixed your problem... Take care and happy camping
@@MountaineerOutdoors Just got it working. I left the valve in the wintering position so no suction could happen from the fresh water tank. Ughhh. I didn't remember that. Hahahaha
Well at least you fixed it and you didn't have to pay anyone. Easy fix. I have made me a check list now so I don't forget what I have done months before.
Thanks for making this video, y have been scratching my head for over a month now for the same issue. Like you said none of the other TH-cam videos guided me to the real issue. Thanks again!
Thanks! This was my problem. Also when you have the pump apart the poppet pushes in, not pulls out. Hard to tell when it's stuck. One other point is I think I may have caused this myself. I have a Durango Gold with the big water manifold panel. I do recall in the manual it saying something about not turning the valves a certain way with city/well pressure against the pump system which I think I may have accidentally done and thus caused the issue of accidentally pressuring the outlet side of the pump.
Thanks for the video. I bought a travel trailer from a company that rented their trailers out. The owner says they pulled the 10 Amp fuse from the hot wire on the pump. Wondering if when you plugged the red wire back in if that was what I'm looking for?
Not sure if my valve is stuck because it will suck in water through the winterizing tube. .. and water from the winterizing will flow through the spigots. But when we close off the winterizing spicket we get no water pressure anywhere in the RV. So if it was a stuck valve then it wouldn't even work drawing in antifreeze as well? I think we have an air lock air leak somewhere.
This was exactly what was wrong with mine. I also ran water through the pump head while I had it off and opened the valve that was stuck. I got a little grit that came out.
Thank you mine is spurting . Air and spurting water . Can you please help ? I have the same sink and water heater mine is a 2021 Jayco . I paid all the money for it it did not make one whole day
It sounds like maybe the water in your holding tank is low, empty or maybe there is a loose hose. Could be your strainer bowl is not on tight and it's sucking in air.
Thank you very much. You saved me a lot of time and money. I had the exact same issue and your video helped me fix it. I wonder if it's sediment or what causes that to happen?
I found the same thing in mine, the valve got stuck over winter. Saved buying another $85 pump. I could not just push the valve, had to hit it with a small hammer!!
You said hot water dry camping how do you do that, I just recently started to use plumbing service in my camper. So if you are plug into city systems I have hot water. But if you’re dry camping how to get hot water from the holding tank to your hot water tank.
It will pump into your hot water tank when you turn the hot side of the faucet on. My suggestion is to not turn on your hot water heater until you have water coming out of the hot water side that way you know it is in your water tank. Just like at home never turn on your water heater until it's full of water.
Mountaineer Outdoors so if the camper is not hooked up to city water and the fresh water holding tank is full of water, I can use my hot water and the water pump will pump water from fresh water holding tank, the hot water tank to the faucets?, reason I am asking this is I live in Canada and the provincial park only has electricity not water. The private camp grounds has full hook up.
Just a reminder to everyone that you do not want to put any bleach in your black tank including any sanitizer water because it will kill off the bacteria and enzymes in the tank that breaks down the waste and paper in the tank. Either run the sanitizer water through your lines and faucets until empty or run the water for a few minutes after the pink is gone and then empty the fresh water tank via your low point valve until empty and then close the low point and refill the tank without bleach. Only then should you run water into the toilet.
Mine sometime cycles up to 10 times! I checked the strainer, - good and no leaks. It it standard for these pumps to go one up to 5 times after you use water? Or do you think the pressure regulator is st too low? Thank you.
My friend I am going through the same thing the only problem is my both my sinks are not working the kitchen sink works and the toilets work but the bathroom the two bathroom sinks do not work nor does the shower water work so this is funny I have water in my kitchen sink but I don't have water in my two bathroom sinks and my shower is not working my toilets work perfectly fine I don't know what's going on
Wow that sounds weird. Maybe the pump isn't working at full capacity. And only has enough power to push water thru some of the sinks etc. Or not sure where you live but could be that there is some ice due to the cold weather and that's why it is not working
We went to winterize our jayco 5th wheel and the pump wouldn't suck up the antifreeze, so after 40 minutes of searching youtube I came across your video. We followed your instructions and it worked , thank you very much for posting the video

Thanks! This was my problem. Also when you have the pump apart the poppet pushes in, not pulls out. Hard to tell when it's stuck. One other point is I think I may have caused this myself. I have a Durango Gold with the big water manifold panel. I do recall in the manual it saying something about not turning the valves a certain way with city/well pressure against the pump system which I think I may have accidentally done and thus caused the issue of accidentally pressuring the outlet side of the pump.

Thanks for the video. I bought a travel trailer from a company that rented their trailers out. The owner says they pulled the 10 Amp fuse from the hot wire on the pump. Wondering if when you plugged the red wire back in if that was what I'm looking for?
If you are looking for the fuse it's probably in the panel mine is under my refrigerator.
Not sure if my valve is stuck because it will suck in water through the winterizing tube.
.. and water from the winterizing will flow through the spigots. But when we close off the winterizing spicket we get no water pressure anywhere in the RV.
So if it was a stuck valve then it wouldn't even work drawing in antifreeze as well? I think we have an air lock air leak somewhere.
That's what it sounds like. I wonder if you have a valve open outside? Outdoor sink, shower? Let me know what you find
Just did the exact thing you did on the video, you are geniuse. Thank you so much, it worked perfectly.
Awesome so glad that this helped. Thanks for watching and commenting
Did the trick! Thank you very much.
Awesome thanks for sharing. I appreciate you watching and commenting ☺
Great job!!!!! Very helpful!!

How do you adjust the pressure on the pump or it even adjustable? Thanks for the video
On my pump there is no way to adjust. Maybe on some of them but not mine unfortunately
This was exactly what was wrong with mine. I also ran water through the pump head while I had it off and opened the valve that was stuck. I got a little grit that came out.

I also carry a spare pump and converter just in case.
Great idea..
You said hot water dry camping how do you do that, I just recently started to use plumbing service in my camper. So if you are plug into city systems I have hot
water.
But if you’re dry camping how to get hot water from the holding tank to your hot water tank.
It will pump into your hot water tank when you turn the hot side of the faucet on. My suggestion is to not turn on your hot water heater until you have water coming out of the hot water side that way you know it is in your water tank. Just like at home never turn on your water heater until it's full of water.
Mountaineer Outdoors so if the camper is not hooked up to city water and the fresh water holding tank is full of water,
I can use my hot water and the water pump will pump water from fresh water holding tank, the hot water tank to the faucets?, reason I am asking this is I live in Canada and the provincial park only has electricity not water.
The private camp grounds has full hook up.
Yes it will work. Just like you said.
Just a reminder to everyone that you do not want to put any bleach in your black tank including any sanitizer water because it will kill off the bacteria and enzymes in the tank that breaks down the waste and paper in the tank. Either run the sanitizer water through your lines and faucets until empty or run the water for a few minutes after the pink is gone and then empty the fresh water tank via your low point valve until empty and then close the low point and refill the tank without bleach. Only then should you run water into the toilet.
So what if you already put bleach in the black water tank?
Just wash it out it will be ok. And then use your happy camper or whatever else you use to help break down solids and smells
thanks a bunch. that worked.

Just setting up our camp in Big Bear. We thought this trip was a no go because we had water pump trouble. You saved our trip! Your freakin’ awesome!!!
Love hearing this I'm so glad this helped. Have a great trip and safe travels ☺
Thank you!

I hope this is the fix for my issue. I've tried several things already.
I hope it does good luck 🤞
did you have to drain the tanks first?????
Mine was guessing if you don't some water would naturally come out. That's just a guess though
Thanks 😊🙏
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
??? We just purchased a fleetwood 87 trailer pump goes on no water comes out of faucets
wonder if your cut off valves are open?? does your pump turn on?? if so id take off the outlet side and see if it actually pushes water out.
Strike one and I replace it with an extra new one that I keep on hand. Great tip if you don’t have an extra and boondocking.
Yep a replacement is always a great idea. Thanks for watching and commenting
Turn on water and it shoots out the inlet of my water tank filler whats causing it please advise thanks
Wow I'm not sure on that one has it always done that??
@@MountaineerOutdoors no just started i will check it this weekend to see if the check valve is sticking
Mine sometime cycles up to 10 times! I checked the strainer, - good and no leaks. It it standard for these pumps to go one up to 5 times after you use water? Or do you think the pressure regulator is st too low? Thank you.
Honestly I'm not real sure what your asking here

If my holding is full do I need to drain it
I most definitely would
Good man
Thanks I appreciate it.
My friend I am going through the same thing the only problem is my both my sinks are not working the kitchen sink works and the toilets work but the bathroom the two bathroom sinks do not work nor does the shower water work so this is funny I have water in my kitchen sink but I don't have water in my two bathroom sinks and my shower is not working my toilets work perfectly fine I don't know what's going on
Wow that sounds weird. Maybe the pump isn't working at full capacity. And only has enough power to push water thru some of the sinks etc. Or not sure where you live but could be that there is some ice due to the cold weather and that's why it is not working
I’ve had a air lock already, open the faucet and it burps out....
Yeah mine does that after drain or out for the winter
now that is a god damn american!
😂 😂 😂 😂 Thanks brother 😂 😂 😂 🇺🇸
I bought a brand new travel trailer,filled my fresh water tank then turned on my water pump and there's no water pressure
Check that pump that is usually the problem
@@MountaineerOutdoors was hard to find the pump but I got the problem fixed
Mine is under my sink behind a false wall. How did you fix your problem
@@MountaineerOutdoors took a panel off to get to the pump and then turned the 2 bypass valves
Good deal
