RV Failed Water Pump Check Valve is Leaking and is Filling the Fresh Water Storage Tank Part #1

[@garlandstyle5797]

You did it right then. :) I keep about 1/4 a tank of fresh water all the time for pit stops when traveling or in case there is any issue with water at our next stop. My FW tank ALWAYS fills up at night. LOL At that point, we just use the pump to drain down the tank. But either way, bumping the water pump will do it every time. Good show ole man! :)

Thanks Michael, I may be looking into maybe making a permanent solution to this problem and if I do I'll be making another video :) Take care my friend

Love the views of Coloma. Our reservation was extended to 2022. So nice of them to move it for us. Great info in the video. Something to keep an eye on.🌞

Thank you VERY MUCH for this video! I had the same issue with my Forest River Shamrock 233S (brand new). After running through this process, boom, winning!

Thanks Dell :)

[@thetraveltrailerguy]

Thanks for catching this, I just added it in the description below the video.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Very good info Michael, thanks for sharing! I see this issue on the forums all the time, and the main reason we only ever use our water tank.

[@thetraveltrailerguy]

Thank you and thank you for watching. Keep and eye out for my permanent fix, I hope to come out with a video on it in the near future

[@dzrvbk]

[@thetraveltrailerguy]

Yep it was Coloma :) We are heading there again in a couple weeks. Sorry to hear about the problem you're having.

[@edwoolful]

I would be interested in the installation of the check valve ! Good video this would be my first choice too !

[@thetraveltrailerguy]

Thanks Ed, keep an eye out for me installing a inline check valve in the near future :)

[@ggimlick]

Nice shine on that 2504S! I hope you haven’t cursed mine with that check valve business 🤣

[@thetraveltrailerguy]

My arm is still sore from doing the roof, awning, and waxing. Darn check valve, I may look into doing a more permanent solution by adding another check valve in another location

[@ggimlick]

@@thetraveltrailerguy I just finished doing the truck with two coats of ceramic spray, but I used the regular routine of Mcquiers on the trailer. Is there anything wrong with just putting a valve in that line? It would require an extra step I guess if going on the tank though beyond just throwing the pump on.

[@thetraveltrailerguy]

@@ggimlick Here's a check valve that I am thinking about using but I have just started looking and I want to make sure I buy the best one out there. amzn.to/3vQm0RH I bet all your stuff is shinny now :) I hope someday you can give the 3M Wax I used a try, It worked great on both the trailer and my truck. amzn.to/3gAAz79

[@thetraveltrailerguy]

I found a better one, I trust brass more than plastic amzn.to/3ifeUSS

[@ggimlick]

@@thetraveltrailerguy Yup, I like that one. I’ll look at the 3M wax, yours sure looks good.
