Hello! I'm new to the forum and new to Heartland. My name is Ken and I just upgraded our 40' jayco travel trailer to a Bighorn 3970rd. So far, it's awesome.
However, we're experiencing one inconvenience with regards to our water pump. The few times it's been turned on while towing to allow bathroom usage, it's worked fine. But when we then hook up to shore power, the pump is switched on, the light in the panel illuminates but the pump won't work. If we wait about 5 or 10 minutes then all is well again and the pump works.
This behavior is consistent whether city water, normal or tank fill is selected at the 4-way valve. I have pulled the monitor panel/water pump fuse and replaced; it's fine and not blown. I have cycled various breakers. I have not open the wall in my storage compartment to visually inspect the pump.
Is this normal behavior? Temps in the storage compartment are not high when this happens. The pump is not run for long periods when we stop to use our facilities while traveling. And ince it begins working it works well from that point. Any ideas as to what's going in with my new rig?
Thanks so much!
