Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / October 2007House water pump location????
In my 1985 27 ft Southwind, I am trying to locate the house water pump .. the other day when working on my hot water heater it cycled off and i hooked up the water hose to keep the pressure up while i worked with the heater... thinking the water level was low in the reservoir.... I guess the pump went bad, or is there a pressure switch that could be fouled up somehow? I have checked the fuse.. its good... i can not locate the pump for the life of me... i know it's a red wire cause that's what is out of the fuse panel... I am going to a concert tomorrow night; a friend of mine drives a Prevost tour bus and he has an extra pump he will give me.. will this kind of pump work in my old RV? st wrote: In my 1985 27 ft Southwind, I am trying to locate the house water pump<<<<<<<<<<<< First thing to do is unhook the house water supply and see if your pump will work. If it does, follow the sound to find the pump. If the pump still doesn't work, find your water tank. Your pump will be near the tank. Most 12 volt pumps made for RV water supply should work but the fittings might be different.

Your description of the problem is kinda vague. But, since you were working on the water system, I would assume you may have turned a valve off that should be on. If you are SURE the valves are in the correct position, then look at the pump.

I can not hear the pump.. i cant find it, i have been looking all around the full water tank..i need to locte it so i can see what is wrong.. >>> In my 1985 27 ft Southwind, I am trying to locate the house water >>> pump .. the other day when working on my hot water heater it cycled [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > around the full water tank..i need to locte it so i can see what is > wrong.. Can't say where yours is, but mine was in the bathroom at the bottom of the cabinet the sink was in.... drove me nuts finding it, finally filled the water tank, turned the bathroom sink on, and sat on the toilet to "think" :) 'I can not hear the pump.. i cant find it, i have been looking all around the full water tank..i need to locte it so i can see what is wrong..' REPLY : ITs going to be behind a removable access cover that is screwed on , will be at floor level, typically close to the fresh water storage tank (but not always). Start by removing an access cover at a time from the inside. >I can not hear the pump.. i cant find it, i have been looking all >around the full water tank..i need to locte it so i can see what is >wrong.. If you have a valve shut off the pressure may keep the pump off and no sound. > In my 1985 27 ft Southwind, I am trying to locate the house water > pump .. the other day when working on my hot water heater it cycled [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Prevost tour bus and he has an extra pump he will give me.. will this > kind of pump work in my old RV? > In my 1985 27 ft Southwind, I am trying to locate the house water > pump . Search out an RV service center (for Southwinds) and axe dem guys Hal > In my 1985 27 ft Southwind, I am trying to locate the house water > pump .. the other day when working on my hot water heater it cycled [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Prevost tour bus and he has an extra pump he will give me.. will this > kind of pump work in my old RV? In my previous RV the pump was under one of the twin beds. The current RV has the pump in the area under the kitchen sink. I have to remove a panel to get to it but I can see where it is with a flashlight. It is not accessible from any of the basement compartments. All of these systems are very compact. It won't be far from the fresh water tank. It will be accessable because you need to get to it to do a proper winterization. It will be above the floor boards, probably. Keep looking.

My pump will suck the antifreeze into it and then thru the lines. I have no need to access mine, neither do my friends. Hank <~~~no frozen lines yet. |
