Yep, you got a stuck check valve. I had same issue, the valve would work for a bit, then stick. You can rebuild your pump, what I did was replace it with the SHURFLO Revolution. Little pricey, very quiet pump compared to original.]]> Sun, 30 Aug 2020 10:30:11 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13966&PID=135817#135817 Replacing Water Pump : The Shurflo pump should provide... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13966&PID=135809#135809 Author: offgrid

The  Shurflo pump should provide about 3 gpm, flow. Mine is more than adequate, but I can't recall ever running more than one faucet at a time. Why do that? 

It sounds like the internal check valve in the pump is leaking, which is not at all uncommon. You can try cycling back and forth between city and pumped water a few times, shutting off city water and then the pump each time. If that doesn't clear the check valve a pump rebuild kit is only about $12-13. Or just replace the pump.

My fresh tank fills up when I attach to City Water. Forest River said the check valve was leaking/bad.  Flow running the pump off of the fresh tank is weak, just one faucet at a time.   I asked for a flow diagram and got crickets.  Literature with the 'Pod says it's a Shurflo 4008-1011-A65.  Is this a good pump?  It's $55 on Amazon.  Is there a better pump (more flow at similar pressure, longer lasting) for $110 or less?
