    fresh water tank stuck check valve

    I bought a 2014 5th wheel Rockwood ultralight rear lounge (8289WS) in 2017. Camped both dry and with hookups through 2020 when we parked it for COVID. Since 2022 we mainly use hookups for RVing because the city water works well. The fresh water tank doesn't allow water to the pump. I believe...

    Fresh water pump.

    Approximately 2 years ago I replaced the water pump diaphragm and check valve. Didn’t need to remove the pump to complete the work. Did fine for two years and stopped pumping. Motor ran, buy no water. This time I replaced the whole unit. Actually easier than replacing the element and not...

    Half of Fresh Water Tank Useless

    When does 50gal = 25 gal? When the outlet (to water pump) on the fresh water tank is mounted on the side of the tank and the tank bulges down. I've found the bare minimum amount of water I need to have in the tank is 20 gallons for the water pump to pull anything, which means to be somewhat...

    Fresh water drain

    Does anyone know where the fresh water tank drain is on an Apex Ultralite 245 bhs. It has an enclosed underbelly. I know where the low point drain plugs are, but can’t see the fresh water tank drain.

    Sanitize Fresh Water Tank Without Gravity Fill

    I thought this might be useful to share. Didn't know there was such a thing until I researched it. Our Force HD had a gravity fill, but our XL doesn't. The winterization pick-up tub bypasses the tank. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00081I7K6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
