I never leave comments but you deserve one for this!!! Thank you so much, I was at a loss and feeling pretty bummed out because I thought I’d have to skip a shower today and be a bit smelly lol. I’d tried all the other tips and tricks the internet had to offer, but this actually worked! Now I can have a shower today!!
OMG, dont ever change your sense of humor. You are a breath of fresh air. Its amazing to see how you inspire RVers to troubleshoot potential problems that may arise. Well stated and enjoyed your enthusiasm. Can't wait to see your next video. God bless you. ❤🙏♥️🙏
Hey Kimann! I know it can be frustrating with something stops working but you worked through it like a champ. I guess that is just part of RV life lol.
It is! Stuff happens when you are in the middle of nowhere, and I have to figure it out. It provides me with life lessons all the time because we aren't really in control of anything. Thanks, Jeff!
Yep. Replaced mine. It was leaking. Now I'm w/o city water after the Debby storm. Good thing I stocked up on water, plus have swimming pool if it goes on too long. Thanks for your tips!
I hope you get your water back soon, but it sounds like you are getting by. Storms are a great reminder that we aren't in control of anything and to be grateful for running clean water, electricity and grocery stores with stocked shelves!
You're getting good at this. That valve is a Bypass valve. It causes city water to bypass your tank and go irectly out to the trailer faucets. And it's the reason I always put a manual switching valve in my trailers. It means that you must turn the valve when going grom city water to tank water but you will never have this stuck bypass valve problem. Of course when I give the trailer back to the owner I need to train them on this little thing. Good for you. Most people would have replaced the pump or taking the trailer into a rip off joint like Camping World and come out with a thousand dollar bill to pay.
Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to share my little bit of tech knowledge and empower others. I was afraid of giving misinformation, but I can't let that stop me from trying to help someone. If I mess up badly, I can always remove the video.
Those self-reliant moments feel great but I'm wondering what is causing the valve to get stuck in the first place. Mineral build up from the water would be my first guess although the cause could be something else. If it is minerals, I use a concentrated vinegar to saturate the buildup for several hours and the minerals remove easy peasy.
Yeah that is helpful. I had to search utube to death last year with very little help on troubleshooting, found one video that mentioned that stupid valve but mine still baffles me, valve wasn't sticking n it was a brand new hardly used pump at the time. i ended up ordering a new pump, on amazon. Am keeping the original because there's something not right. Pump worked for water but wouldn't for winterizing. Bought a new pump n got the camper barely winterized. No leaks i could find. Still baffles me obviously it's something i don't know. Maybe eventually will figure it out. 🍻
It sounds like a faulty pump, but I understand. You want to figure out why, and it sounds like it baffles you. I made the video because I couldn't find more in-depth troubleshooting on TH-cam that explained things and got to the point. I'm not an RV tech, but something about it could help someone. I hope you have a great summer in Canada!
@@KimannChessa no it's going down as one of my worst summers actually. Broke my foot end of june, been stranded by ram manufactures still dont have my ABS module for my truck, (been waiting for part now 10 months!) to drive truck is constant alarm notification 😖. And because ive been stuck with truck limp problem n then foot problem (but i can drive it as its my left foot) but then all my RVs vent covers and sun roof over bed were destroyed in mondays calgarys hail storm along with my car rear window blown out. It's been a glorious nightmare! But it's not the end of the world, there are worse things right! It can get fixed only the worry is the campers sunroof, have to go through dealer to get another n so far thats stressful as they still haven't ordered me one yet!! Thats my biggest worry to get it installed before it gets cold here end of sept. So I'll enjoy your trips. Keep having fun! 🤗 🍻
Oh no! It's tough when a string of bad things happen, isn't it? But here's the thing: maybe those tough times are paving the way for something incredible. When things finally turn around, you'll be so much more grateful for the good times. Hang in there, my friend. Awesomeness is ahead for you!
Hi kimann, thank you for the info, I was unaware of that trick. I bought an extra screen bowl filter in case the main breaks. I hope to see you in Quartzite 👍🌄🏞️🌹
Hey, Prez, an extra screen is a good idea. That filter could be a potential issue. Let me know when you are planning to be in Quartzsite. I had to come back to Florida because my parents aren't doing well, but I have a lot of vlog footage that I am working on. Happy travels!

I’m so glad that this video helped! That makes me feel so good! Thank you for telling me! Yay!! 🙏

I'm impressed. Good job in your diagnosis. Very good videos! Thanks, happy trails.

Very loved your channel on TH-cam Very have home on wheels. Staying safety. Okay 👍 keep watching when post again 👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I appreciate that, Maria!! 🙏😊🤗
Good for you!
Sensor water detectors... great tip. Who knew? Look at you becoming all mechanical :) Great video.
I was just thrilled that it all worked out and I didn't mess anything up! It is always hit or miss, but I try.
Great video. Thank you for the information.
Glad it was helpful!
Pretty 😊 Happy Sabbath Day to you! Praise Yahweh

Thanks for the helpful advice. I use my pump all of the time and it is annoying when it gets stuck!
😊
Wow, you are good at trouble shooting. I always get too frustrated!
I am practicing troubleshooting. It doesn't come naturally.

@@KimannChessa 🤗 oh thank you so much for saying that! (Sniff)🥹🥰
Nice job my friend. How are you
I'm well. Hope you are well, Debi. I missed hearing from you. 😊🤗
That may be a sign to go ahead and order another pump as a spare. The time is coming... :)
Very good point! Pumps aren't expensive and I could probably install it myself.
Catching up on a few videos. My momisnt doing so well. 6:45
I'm sorry to hear that. My mom isn't doing well either. It is so difficult to see someone you love suffer. We are on the same page in many ways.
