Ahoy from the Lowcountry!

Awesome! Also, great to see another big Firefly fan.

Sorry it took so long to follow up. Lot of non-RV problems popped up. There was no air leak on the input side--I resealed everything anyway, of course. No visible leak on the pressure side except that one tiny drop at the shorewater connection. However, the air leak possibility was a good...

I'll check that next. The pump sits about a foot from the tank, only one short hose run. The tank is about half full at the moment.

Thanks, y'all. It is a Shurflo 4048, less than a month old. We have two sinks and an inside shower, no drippage from any of them, good pressure when turned on. So far I found one minuscule leak, less than a drop per thirty seconds. Is that enough to cause this behavior? I have to say, this RV...

Any advice. Any at all.

Could be anywhere. Ours is under the sink, about six feet from the icemaker.

Get good multimeters. I carry a "black brick" Simpson 260 analog, plus two different digitals.

I carry a ton of tools, six toolboxes plus a full electrical/electronic box. But what do I use most often? Gerber multitool, pocketknife, six-way screwdriver, and channel locks. Oh, and a small sledgehammer.

When we lived on our sailboat we used solar, plus a wind turbine. Basically it's just solar panels to charge controller to battery bank. And yes, get heavy gauge marine grade wire, how heavy will depend on length of run and output of panels. If you do go with a charge controller--I recommend...

The board's a separate item, runs 90 to 100 bucks online, might be different for your specific model--ours is a Dometic 3-way. Not saying that's your problem, but it was definitely ours. It's plug-and-play, and the installation difficulty depends on the geometry behind your fridge. Ours was a...

Welcome from the boonies, South Carolina.

Might be the controller board. A new Dinosaur board solved our erratic fridge issues completely.

No advice yet, 'cause we're newbies as well. But welcome!
