SOLVED: Water Pump Keeps Running (Problem Found )

2019 Bighorn 3760EL:
Water pump has been working ok since we picked up the new 5th wheel 12/15. Today, I heard something running. Turned out to be the water pump, but it sounded different than normal. Now, all faucets are spitting like happens after bleeding then lines and then using it again. Air, water, air, water 30 mins of this "burping"!!!
Ended up just turning it off! This is a brand new unit!

Hi Gadgetman,

Might just be a loose connection allowing the pump to suck air. You'll need to take down the rear wall of the pass through basement storage next to the Universal Docking Center (UDC) and inspect the water lines around the pump. Also take a look at the strainer bowl on the suction side of the pump. And doublecheck that position of the 4-way Anderson Valve.

It sounds like your fresh water tank is empty. Are you sure it's full?
Or you could be sucking air from somewhere between the pump and the tank.
You might take a look at the filter bowl on the pump the check for cracks or being loose.

Peace
Dave
