I bought a 1988 Tiffin Allegro back in April. It had been winterized. We moved in full time, and for some reason, I didn't check to make sure the water worked before moving in. Here's the process I've gone through, but I'm sure I'm missing something.
First, I filled the water tank about a quarter full. Then I turned on the water pump and nothing happened. So I replaced the water pump. Brand new one it, it sounds like its working. I turn it on, no water, so I walk around the RV and find water pouring out the city inlet. I replace that since I'm pretty sure its supposed to have a backflow lock so water doesn't come out. Turn the pump on again, and nothing.
I walk around again, and find water coming out of the water heater. Open that, and stupid me forgot to replace the anode rod. So I put that in, turn the pump back on, and now water is coming out of the pressure release valve. I go inside and turn the valve to bypass the water heater completely, I'll figure that out later. Now nothing comes out of the faucets. It never has.
I'm not sure what I'm missing. I thought maybe there was a release valve between city water and tank, but there is not. There is nothing in the wet bay for fresh water at all.
I have a brand new pump, and someone mentioned that it might need to be adjusted, but I'm not sure how to do that. Its a Shurflow pump. I have a second one for backup just in case there is a problem with the one brand new one I have, but I think its working. It sounds like it is, but no water is coming out.
Any ideas?
