A Peculiar Water Pump Issue June 07, 2024, 04:12:28 pm We recently replaced our water pump with a new backup pump. The old pump was installed by Camping World for the previous owners more than 10 years ago. While inspecting the older pump I noticed for the first time a 1/4” gap between the front housing and the main section. Upon closer inspection, the pump was missing a screw on the upper right side and the lower right screw was loose. I removed a screw from a new uninstalled backup pump to replace the missing screw but that hole was stripped. And I couldn’t tighten the lower screw. So we removed the pump and searched everywhere for the missing screw. It wasn’t to be found. After installing the new pump, I loosed all the screws on the old outlet housing and sequentially tightened them. I found a screw and nut in my bin for the stripped out hole which tightened everything up. So we now have a used backup water pump with the outlet housing properly attached. However, I’m inclined to think Camping World sold the previous owners a defective pump. I certainly could be wrong but that’s my conclusion. Edit: Maybe not defective but certainly not complete. And that Shurflo worked flawlessly for over 10 years! 👌
