Possible Coach Water Pump Problem

[ronmarabito2002]

I have had my current coach now for 5 years and have never completely
drained the fresh water tank. The coach rarely sits longer than a
couple months between outings. If you suspect the water is getting
bad, you will probably have an odor and you can treat the tank at that
time. Sure saves a lot of work.

have to prevent stagnant water. Maybe it isn't necessary. We use the
coach water while in transit so the wife and grandkids can use the
bathroom. I have established procedures to include a "do not turn on
tag" on the switch when the tank is empty. I failed to follow my own
procedures when I put the bus away. I'm just happy I put the wheels
down before landing.

We use our coach quite often but are not full time.
