Does anyone have any good ways to test a manual water pump. Mine is not working, but if you hold your hand over the stem you can feel suction almost as if it's working in reverse. Not really on the priority list but a good to have.

If you can feel suction, check that the shut off valves to both tanks are open. They are under the right side of the van forward of the axles (in ours in anyway).

Brilliant, will do, not now though it freakin freezing outside at the moment what with the wind and all.

Ditto to Pace's comment.

We had ours replaced by Jayco on the first service. Jayco said there was a large batch where the grommet was installed wrong, and thus they failed. Apparently a known problem....
