Good Evening,
We have been campers for some years now.Last June we bought a 2005 Rockwood
Premier.
It was from a not so good dealer,allot of things were not explained and
parted on not so good terms.
Now I have a camper with problems and I know nothing about it and the paper
work doesn't really help.
I'm looking for someone who may answer some questions for me or may know
someone who could.
I put the camper up last weekend to get it ready for spring.
When I plugged it in there is a loud noise coming from under the pop-up
sink,something is caged there.
There is a on/ off switch next to the box with fuses,if I turn it off the
noise goes away.
Also all the plug ins work but none of the overhead lights will work and
when I crank up the fan it won't come on.
These are the major problems but I do have a lot of questions.
I contacted the dealer,no help,they got there money and they are done with
us.
I would be grateful for any help.
Thank You
Yvette

It is either a water pump or electric power converter cooling fan. If your
camper does NOT have a water system (with pump), it is the converter.

Check the fuses. It sounds like the power converter is ailing.

What do you mean by "no help"? Since you purchased a (presumably) NEW camper
last June, it is still covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Did the
dealer refuse to look at the camper? Did they say they would charge you for
the service? If they are still reluctant to provide after-the-sale service,
contact Forest River and discuss your issues - including the lousy dealership
- with them.

I was unable to find a [contact us] link on their site. There should be
contact information in the packet of papers and manuals that you SHOULD HAVE
received when you bought the camper.
Good luck!

That sounds like your water pump. If a faucet is open and then switch is on
you'll here the pump work until it reaches pressure which will not happen if
a tap is left open.

Or if the tank is empty.

The sound under the sink is probably your Water Pump. Turn the switch
to OFF, fill your Fresh Water tank, then turn the switch back to ON,
open the faucet, and you should have water being pumped by the pump.
On the second part, for your lights, if it,s not a fuse problem (check
the converter), you may want to check if you have a Security swith.
Usually, all pop-ups have this switch, Basically, what it does, it
prevents the lights to go ON once the top of the pop up is down. I
suspect that it may not be fully engaged, so that's why you don't have
lights. Usually, this swith may be located somewhere close to the
galley (in my coleman, when I lifted the galley, it pressed on this
switch) If it's not there, look at any places where the Top sits on the
sides of the pop-up once it's closed, there has to be a swithc
somewhere. Maybe the other Rockwood users can tell you where the switch
is. This will probably resolve your problem.
