Do you get water anywhere else??? Shower ??? Are you sure you have water in the tank??? Some times the gauge lies Moe ------------- Jo and Gary, 2010-174,2011 F150

Is your winterization valve closed if not, you are sucking air. ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |

Also take off areoator off of tap and clean it. It only takes a very small piece of dirt to block the water coming out of the tap... Take care to remember what order you took it apart. ------------- Ron & Shirley 2020 Tacoma 2012 177 rpod |

There is a plastic "filter" on the inlet side of my pump. If the cap isn't tight enough the pump pulls air, hand tighten should be enough. ------------- Old Dingo and/or Mrs. Dingo 181G 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee |

I noticed on mine when I drain the fresh water tank after arriving back home from a trip- the next first use is gurgly and sometimes the pump doesn't want to shut off. After a few minutes and opening and closing a faucet it purges the air, clears up and works fine. Never had that in other RVs I've owned and am a little puzzled by it in the rpod.
