Gringo,

I had a similar problem with my '93 Newell. I went thru 5 water pumps! The problem was a bad ground at the pump itself. I had 12v at the switch next to the microwave (inside the coach). But checking voltage at the pump it was 6v! The tech connected the negative wire to a good ground close to the pump and that was the end of the problems.

Low voltage was burning up the pumps!

This may not be your problem since you stated that your voltage was good. Are you measuring voltage at the pump or at the switch?

Hope this helps!
