In our '21 240RL we typically use the city water connection, however sub-freezing weather tonight caused us to disconnect and draw from the fresh water tank. When I turned on the water pump, it ran for just a second, quit for a second or two, then repeated until I turned it off. If I turn on the pump and open a faucet, the pump runs as expected with good flow/pressure.
My first thought was a leak. I loosened the basement paneling by the Nautilus panel so I could see the pump and the water lines back there. All was dry with no signs of a leak.
Then I checked the valve settings on the Nautilus panel to make sure I had it in the dry-camping mode. All good there.
When i filled the fresh tank I changed the valves on the Nautilus panel from city water to the power fill position. I did not turn off the water at the post, nor did I release pressure in the system before doing so. Is it possible i damaged a check valve by doing this?
We use the pump very little, but we have used it in the past year without issue, until today.
Anybody have any clues?
