 Would that, by any chance, have been at Liard Hot Springs in Yukon?  When we

went to Alaska in 2001, we'd heard reports of bears in that area.

On our trip to Colorado last week, we were in Golden Gate Canyon Park near Golden where they have signs warning of bears. One night, I was awakened by a dog going berserk. About two or three minutes later, there was a huge, BAM, BAM, BAM as one of the refuse containers {with steel bar firmly in place} was being battered about. This lasted about two minutes.

Also on this trip, we spent a night at Olive Ridge NFCG 15 miles south of Estes Park. Again, signs warning of black bears. The CG was pretty empty {a really lovely little dry camping CG near the southern entrance to Rocky Mountain NP} and no one was parked around us. This time, Kristine and I had been sitting by a nice fire. She got up and went in and I sat there in my usual "fire stupor" that had been expanded by a couple cold ones. Suddenly, about 40 or 50 feet away over my left shoulder, I heard three low, deep, loud snorts! I banged on our plastic folding table with my bottle, yelled, "hey bear, outta here" {or something else as clever}, sat still for a bit, then slowly got up and went back in Ruby.

I had a little trouble getting to sleep that night but I love those out of the way, quiet, empty CG's so that won't stop us.

Thought I'd relate a bear story of our own. This took place back in 1982 when Mary and I were in our 30's and camping for a year in a Chevy van I had converted. We were staying at Mendenhall Lake/Glacier near Juneau, AK and were doing lots of hiking around the Glacier.
This was our first couple of days in Grizzly country and we were pretty paranoid about running into one or a bunch. We had bought whistles in town to blow while we hiked to warn bears we were about. We'd blow them at regular intervals and felt like we were doing what we could to keep safe. A coulpe of hours into our hike on the way back one day, we bumped into a group of older ladies out for their own hike. We stopped to talk for a while and one of them asked if it was us blowing the whistles that they'd heard. "Why yes" was our reply, and explained to them about bears. "Oh", se said. "We thought the sound might be marmonts. Bears LOVE marmonts". Our whistles were put away, never to be used again.
It really is best to be prepared and informed.

"I'm assuming this is the same pump that's installed in new LD's? If this is the case, and the incidents of leaking and wet floors is a result of a design defect, then it would be good to find out what's going on with these things. I'd rather replace a pump now than deal with wet floors later."

bumper

I have to agree with you on avoiding wet floors.
If you have read some of my previous postings, you are aware our problem with inadequate flow to the toilet in our 2003 23.5 FL.

The problem was caused when LD 'upgraded' to the SeaLand Traveler china toilet several years ago. It needs a higher water flow than the previous model, more than the Whisper King can provide.
Our 1983 FL had a Whisper King that perform adequately, used little water and was very quiet .
The Whisper King.  in our 2004, produced a weak flush flow and when using the hand nozzle, the flow was  reduced to a worthless trickle. I showed this to LD Steve and his only reply was " they all do that ".
Funny that LD upgraded to the 5.7 in 2004. So I was left to my own devices to fix the problem.
 When the original 5.7 started leaking, it was replace under warranty.
Camping World told me that I had one of the early production models and that there had been problems  that had been resolved.  Its been a little over a year  without a repeat performance. I watch it like a hawk.

I still want to get rid of the 5.7,  due to the noise and possible failure. When a faucet is opened fully or when flushing, the pump starts and spins up to full speed ( read loud) and then slows down to an acceptable level. The pump's  pressure control switch has a wide differential, the difference between the pressure it turns off and on.
I tried using an accumulator but it only made things worse.
In a posting a couple of weeks ago,  I  mention thinking about using two pumps, hooked up in parallel with the second pump activated by a micro switch mounted on the toilet's pedal. This way I could use the quiet Whisper King, which is very adequate for the sinks and shower.
It would require using a couple of relays but the logic is simple.
I'm  also considering plumbing the hand  nozzle so that it works without pressing the pedal. This would give it decent flow with a single pump.
Its kind of irritating to have to redesign something that should have been done correctly at the Factory.
I'm sure that in your business, the customer expect that the alarms system are installed correctly and do not require any special attention. I know my customers expect the same.

The change to the 5.7 was a good examplke of not leaving well enough alone.  Our old Whisper King works perfectly well with the Sealand toilet, but many voices, particularly in this group, convinced the factory that more flow was needed.

I fear for the day we have to replace our 98 Mid-Bath, for the 5.7 pump will empty the fresh water tank in no time.  We should have left well enough alone.

Fear not, you could easily replace the 5.7 with a Whisper King.
 We have not noticed our water tank emptying more quickly with the 5.7, if anything it last a little longer since less water is used due to the more aggressive flushing action. The real problem is the dependability and noise of the 5.7 pump.
 Maybe the flow is more of a problem with the 2003 FL, compared to your 1998 MB.
The FL's plumbing run from the pump to the bath may be  longer or may have more angled fittings (both causing friction and lower flow rates), who knows.
The bottom line is that my wife and I both agree that Whisper King's flow was not enough.
We have a direct comparison having the same floor plan in both our 1983 and 2003 LDs. The Whisper King, in our 1983 FL worked perfectly well and was very quiet.
I would expect equal or better performance in a twenty year newer model, wouldn't you? Maybe LD should have stayed with the plastic Thetford model that was in our '83 LD, who knows but the Whisper King, in our new LD, didn't do the job.
I could change to Therford Aqua Magic or Bravura, as Andy suggested, which or may not fix the problem. It could be an expensive, failed experiment, once again, who knows. I just wish this had been sorted out before LD sold it to us.  Anyway, my wife likes the china SeaLand.
As much as I'm not afraid to try to solve a problem, there are a lot of other problems I would prefer to be working on  :-)

wish we (collectively) had not argued for something new just because it was new, as we so often do. I also doubt the new 5.7 gallon pump lets water last as long as the 2.0 gallon pump, no matter how vigorous the shower.  And I also feel the SeaLand toilet, at least in the mid-bath, gets enough flushing action as it needs with the Whisper King (we use the spray).

All that said, however, those who prefer the 5.7 are welcome to it; just don't blame the manufacturer if it is loud.
Water usage is user dependent. Any of the pumps can be used at a rate of 2.0 gpm or less from adjustable taps, and toilet flush is a function of duration of foot application. However, some functions are inefficient if insufficient water pressure is available. I have no experience with either the Sealand or either of the newer pumps in question, but I know how inefficiency can reduce economy of use, as can user lack of care.

I DO know the older Shur-Flo design, and it is adequate for all LD installed appliances with a higher output than the Whisperlite, and much quieter than it used to be with some minor plumbing mods. It is mediocre, though, with our above-counter water filter, and I shudder to contemplate the Whisperlite trying to fill our water bottles or coffee decanter. I am happy enough with ours, not willing to endure either the higher noise of the 5.7 or lower delivery of the Whisperlite.

"Guys!  Would you be kind enough to straighten out the following so that I can Hey  understand what the real problem is,  and what is the solution? "

Dear Confused

We owned an ` 83 FL LD for many years.  It was equipped with a Thetford Aqua Magic toilet and Whisper King water pump.  This combination worked well together.
We wore the 83 LD out and order a new 2003 23.5' FL.  It was equipped with a SeaLand china toilet and a Whisper King water pump. This combination did NOT work well. There was too little water flow to properly flush and clear the toilet.
LD did want to help fix the problem so I installed the 5.7 pump. The
5.7 pump was a new variable speed design and I admit that I'm a
 sucker for new technology.  The pump developed a leak within six months and was replaced under warranty. The new pump has performed trouble free for over a year. It does make a lot of noise on startup and is annoying to me. YMMV
 I would have been happy to keep the original Whisper King but is just did not do the job.
 Gus has different floor plan with different plumbing. His experience has been positive but that is with his LD.  Our experience was different. Neither of us is right or wrong. This is like comparing apples to oranges.
Gus made the comment that the 5.7 would empty the water tank faster and it has the potential to do so if you are not disciplined enough to control the flow using the faucets in the sinks and shower.
I feel the toilet uses less water because the increased water clears the bowl quickly.  Once again this is personal opinion based on my long term LD ownership.

LD did replace the Whisper King, in the 2004 models, with the 5.7 probably because of complaints about low flow rates. The 5.7s are a more expensive pump so I'm sure LD had good reason to do so.
 The rest of my postings have been ramblings on various ways to set up the water pump (s) so to have enough flow with quiet operation.

Did this clear up the confusion?

  Hi Frances,

A few others have given their viewpoints, here is mine.
  First off, most 2003 LD's came from the factory with the Whisper King  water pump. I say most because I seem to remember a few folks asked  LD to install the Shurflo 5.7 pump instead of the Whisper King. In  2004, LD began installing the Shurlfo 5.7 water pump as standard  equipment.

I have a 2003 Mid-bath that came from the factory with the Whisper  King; the water flow was adequate a best. As Larry mentioned, it  didn't do a good job flushing the toilet. Almost no "washdown" of the  front of the toilet bowl. My experience was also that the Whisper  King pulsed or cycled quite often. Showers were OK but it seemed you  needed to frequently adjust the water flow if you used the showerhead  to turn off the water (to conserve water). We had one Whisper King  fail and I installed another Whisper King. I never liked that pump.

This Spring, I installed the Shurflo 5.7. I expected it to be a  little noisier, but most of the time its as quiet or quieter than the  Whisper King pump. The lone exception is when flushing the toilet.
 Then, as Larry points out, it gets noisey. I don't find it  objectionable, but I guess everyone's threshold of annoyance is  different. I certainly don't miss the cycling off and on that the  Whisper King pump always did!

As for the using more water issue, I think if you are conservative  with water usage, it will be about the same. IF you aren't  conservative, it would be very easy to use more water with the 5.7  pump. At times, I think we use less water with this high flow pump.
 Why? Because you get better rinse down when showering so you spend  less time rinsing and you get better flush action with the toilet so  may need to use the rinse spray wand less often too.

I can tell you that I think it was a vast improvement. If the water  pump were located near my bed and someone flushed the toilet and woke  me up, I may think differently. What has been disturbing about the
5.7 is the number of folks who are reporting problems with it. One of
 those folks may not have winterized their rig properly leading to a problem, (no names please). If there is a weak spot in the design of this product, I think its the fittings that connect the water lines to the pump. There are plastic clamps that hold threaded fittings that are connected to the water lines. The old Whisper King pumps threaded directly to the water lines. If those plastic clamps vibrate loose you could experience the water lines becoming disconnected that leave you with the wet floors some have reported. That happened to me when I first installed the 5.7 pump.

Hope I've provided clarity and not more confusion.

Hi All
 I just wanted to say that we changed out the original water pump in our 94 26' RB and replaced it with the Shurflo 4.0. I was concerned that the 5.7 had too high of a pressure for our old water lines. The 4.0 is as quiet as the original pump if not quieter and puts out a noticable increase in water pressure. After 6 months it has performed perfectly and has been a great addition.

Back there somewhere I think Larry hit it.  The different plumbing configurations make a big difference in how happy you are with the older Whisper King pump.  We have a 2001 RB and the plumbing is pretty direct in that model.

We are fine with the water pressure and I much prefer not having a plastic toilet, I would not like one of those at all.  I just don't think they get as clean as porcelein and then there are the esthetics.
 We do use the wand for most flushes but it doesn't take much water. If you just use the foot pedal it works fine but doesn't rinse the bowl as well.
 We've been hooked up to water in places and turned it off because we had better water pressure using our pump.  I admit, that wasn't in the US.

I sure don't understand the concern about having more water pressure.  Just don't open the faucet any more than necessary.  Works at home.  Works in an RV too!  If it's the toilet that is the concern, don't stand on the pedal so long.

 The year of the bears was 1992 on the island of Petersburg.  We went back to the same spot about 1999 and she was gone.  So its probably safe by now.
However, we were about 4 days behind where 2 folks were killed at Liard Hotsprings in the Yukon on the last trip.

Linda, thanks - yes, I see that it has a three year warranty - good news. As a sage gent I know has always told me, "when in doubt, read the %&*#*@ documentation."  ;-)

Dave, since it was still under warranty, we didn't have to pay anything for the new pump.
I called and talked with Steve and he is just sending me a new Shurflo
5.7 to replace the bad one - no whining, no gripes {except a little dig
 at Shurflo} just taking care of his people. Cost to me = shipping of pump back to LD.

LOVE THOSE LD FOLKS!!!
