Water Pump replacement

[melissa567]

We have a Fleetwood Niagara 2005 and I’m pretty sure the water pump is broken. It’s leaking from the water lines that run to the outdoor shower. Will stop leaking once pump is turned off. Is this a water pump thing? I’ve caulked and taped and done everything to stop the leaking from the water pipes but the pressure just builds up from the water pump if left on. Does anyone know where to order a new water pump and/or a place to look at a tutorial to replace? Thank you.

The pump isn’t the problem. You have a leak in the lines or faucet connections

This is where it is leaking. Where do I buy these replacement lines? I can’t seem to find them anywhere.

Most likely leaking at the connection point, either at the pump or the shower unit. Those normally have a connector which have an easy finger turning end. In your photo, that would be the white connector with the wings.

I had a leak which I thought was the pump but when I finally got my butt down on the floor to take a good look, I found that one of the connectors was loss and a easy turn stopped the leak.

We all sometimes forget that our campers shack and rattle down the road and things can work themselves loss. There are things I check every year as part of my de-winterization. The water line connector have made that list.

I’ve tightened it, put plumbing tape, putty, flex seal and water still slowly worms it’s way out after a few minutes. It’s a slow drip but I didn’t even know it was leaking for a bit and it got to the floor boards that I had to repair.

Most trailer supply places will carry them. Take the lines to you local plumbing supply place. Every trailer I've had used standard hoses
