After I located the ball valve and closed it so it couldn't fill my tank on city water.. I for got to open it back up and I had my primary fresh water pump on and I think I may hav e burned it up. I got no pressure on the 110 pump just the aux.. So new pump ? New impeller? Suggestions..

Might be air locked. Be sure you have water to the inlet side of pump. You might have to loosen a clamp or fitting to bleed the air out.

Your headhunter pump may be ok, it's supposed to shut down if it overheats due to dry running. Unplug it for a couple minutes then plug it back it and see if it works

I agree with Forest the pump may be okay. Hopefully.

Glad all is well. Another happy ending. Always lessons to be learned but one less thing to fix is something to celebrate. :dance:

These Newells have more switches and do-dads, it takes a while to learn how everything works. I went to a job with mine about a month ago, the second night there we had a snow storm with wind and blowing snow. Shore power didnt have enough amps to run the electric heat so I was running the propane. At about 4am there was no heat and I tell ya it was cold!! I had to get up and boost the batteries with my truck:cursing:!! Then I discovered the switch for the converter!!! It was off!! So your not the only one!:banghead:!rollinglol!

Keith that's the truth. Even once you learn them it's easy to forget. ;)

Don't feel bad guys. The only reason we "experts" know so much is because we made a lot of the same mistakes.

I know about forgetting things for sure. That's why they let me hide my own Easter eggs now!
