Ok, here it is. Were currently in Rock Springs Wyoming. We were in West Virgina 3 days ago, until we got the phone call that my Mom was going to have surgery to have a cancerous Lung Tumor removed (non smoker) on the 5th of June. So needless to say our plans have changed and were trying to get home to Nor-cal as fast as we can.
We are full timers, and were planning to get our convection side of our microwave oven repaired today in Indiana. That didn't happen due to this trip. Along the way,one eye of the stove top went out 2 days ago. That same day on a road side break I noticed the kitchen slides outside gasket was falling off. it was coming out of the grove on the slide. I just glued that on. Almost lost the whole gasket while going down the road. During the inspection of the gasket I notice a lot of gasket and seals are ripped or pretty worn. This Landmark is barely 6 months old. The screws that hold the fender well skirts on to the slides were all loose, and 2 were missing. No problem. I replaced the screws. 2 of the screws that hold the ceiling fan blades onto the motor, repeatedly came off, until I stopped and had to buy 2 new screws, and some medium strength lock tight to hold it together. This has all happened in the last 3 days.
Today I was filling up the water tank, so we could just pull in to the next several campgrounds and be self sufficient, except the electrical power. After filling the tank, I turned the water pump on after removing the water hose, and the pump won't stop running. It seems to be spinning with no psi. This is with the power to the pump off. Yes both switches are in the off position. When you turn the pump on, it does have pressure, but the pump is loud. Turn the power to the pump off, and it continues to run.
Its pouring down rain, and I've been in the pump compartment, trying to troubleshoot. The filter wrench I got with the coach doesn't fit well, and the housing is on so tight I can't remove it. The cheap pieces of sharp sheet metal that is supposed to be the filter housing hanger would twist right off if I applied to much pressure. Anyway I removed the entire filter assembly, and determined, that the filter might be a little dirty, but I was able to easily blow through the filter and water came out, so I know that's not clogged. I also removed the sight glass on the pump to check for debris, and it too was also clear.
I'm pretty stressed about all the above, and need some suggestions, and or expert advise, on what you guys have done in similar situations.
Thanks for your help, and sorry about the rant, but Dang I feel overloaded here.
