Hi all -
We just got back from 3 weeks in our 1998 Roadtrek 190 Popular (we love it!). We travelled from Mexico where we live (near Guadalajara) up to Kentucky via Big Bend, Hot Springs and Mammoth Cave, then back via the Natchez Trace and Austin - 4800 miles!
During the trip the water system was acting oddly. The pump would run much longer than normal after shutting off the tap, and when running the tap would gurgle and splurt -- air in the system, obviously. There are no leaks though, and it all worked fine on external water.
I am guessing that either a check valve has failed somewhere, there's a leak that allows air into the system but not water to escape (don't see how that could happen though?), or it's the pump itself.
any suggestions would be welcome!
thanks
patrick
