I keep meaning to post this and keep forgetting.
I recently drained the fresh water tank for the 1st time since new. Alot of plastic shavings came out of the drain, which leads me to assume there might be more that did not fit through the drain. You may want to do this on a new model. having that debris in the pump would not be good ------------- Daddy, Mommy and Daughter. BlackJack & Keno (boston Terriers) Rpod 176T 2015 Nick: ouR-pod |

Unclewillis you will want to clean the filter that is located at the pump, it is at the inlet side of the pump. Just unscrew the clear plastic cup and you will more than likely find plastic shavings in there from the tank setup. Goose ------------- Mother Goose's Caboose..2011 RP171..07 Grand Cherokee

There is a strainer/filter device before the pump, little round thing with a twist off cap that you can clean out. These manufacturing shavings will end up at the end of your lines at the faucets sometimes preventing waterflow, you can pop off the little screens then and flush them out all the way. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

Goose is right as usual. I check ours when winterizing and found plastic debris on the first check but not since. Its easy to do. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |
