Replacement water pump June 30, 2014, 11:27:53 am Yahoo Message Number: 147166Some time back, I read comments on replacement water pumps and the model "Revolution". I can not locate those comments just now and, I would like to purchase a backup pump before departing on a 5-6 week trip. I would appreciate feedback on the best replacement water pump for the Surflo that came in our 04 LD MB. The pump seems noisy and flow is not always consistent. I understand that these pumps have had to be replaced by a number of LD owners. The specs on several of the pumps I have seen at Camping World and online, show a lower flow rate than the one in the LD. I am concerned that I don't end up with insufficient flow. Thanks in advance for responses.JI, NC 04 MB

It is the most common replacement today and should have adequate flow for your 04 MB. http://www.amazon.com/SHURflo-4008-101-E65-Revolution-Water-Pump/dp/B002XM5G70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404142293&sr=8-1&keywords=shurflo+4008 Be aware that when you change to a different model of pump, many times it requires reconfiguring the pump mount and water line connections, sometime requiring longer water lines. Not a fun job in a MB, but doable. For the absolute easiest replacement, use the same model of pump.Larry As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

(The extra Whisper KIng that I carried came in very handy recently when the old one finally died after 11 years.) The pump is not fast, and it's not particularly quiet, but it was/is very reliable. And, no modifications of fittings are necessary when replacing like with like.The Whisper King is available from only a few vendors now, one of which is Pacific RV Parts; I suggest that anyone wanting to get a Whisper King do it very soon before the existing stock is sold out from the few vendors!Joan
Re: Replacement water pump Reply #3 – June 30, 2014, 02:03:56 pm Yahoo Message Number: 147171I replaced my 13 yr. old Whisper King pump with the Revolution 4008. The Whisper King was still going strong but I wanted more water flow and pressure for the shower. I got that but the Revolution is louder. I carry a spare Revolution in case it fails. Cheap insurance for $75.Bob

Now that I have the model designation confirmed and, I also know where to purchasse an identical replacement, I just have to decide which to go with and get it ordered and delivered before leaving on our trip.Jim
