Water pump

I took the camper out for our first break in run after winter. I was parked in the R.V. lot at a casino for the weekend. The water pump has an issue. It was working fine last fall. I noticed when I turn the pump on, it never cycles off. I think i've seen complaints about this before, and it is caused by a stuck shut off valve. I tried the on/off, on/off method a bunch of times, but it still keep trying to pressurize. I haven't dewinterized it yet, maybe the thick pink stuff is the culprit? Anyway, once I dewinterize i'll try swapping out the check valve if thats what you think as well. 

Originally posted by Lear111 Why are you turning on the water pump if it is still winterized. Probably not a check valve. An open faucet like outside shower and it is pumping the fluid out or a leak somewhere. Really need to dewinterize and try it again.

 TT, I had added some water to the fresh tank right before we left, not much, just enough to be able to use the toilet on a limited basis. Maybe the slightly unlevel surface we were on might have played a role. With the minimal water it might have pooled up the water in the lower corner? I tried it again yesterday and it worked fine. There were 2 differences yesterday, my driveway is pretty level, and it was much warmer. It was getting down to the mid to high 30's at night when we were out.

I actually do blow out the lines, but, I also use the anti-freeze "insurance" policy.  Although I go thru the entire sanitize, fill, empty, fill again, empty again, 3 or 4 times, I never drink the water in the pod. We use bottled water for any drinking. Not that it means the water is any better, but I feel better.
