Hi All.

Have just bought a used 1998 Pullman. It's been very well looked after and all is well, except the water pump.

I filled up a water container and plugged on the Whale pump to the connection on the outside of the camper. The pump came on straight away and wouldn't stop. Pressing the pump rubber button inside the camper had no effect whatsoever.

Do I need to get under the camper and check out the switch, or is it something more basic/user error?

I'd check the switch first. Have you got a friendly camper/caravanner nearby with the same type of pump set up who would let you try their pump on your Pennine? That way you could see if it was the pump or the switch.

Good luck, sometimes these things are easy to trace and rectify and sometimes they take all winter!

Hi if it the switch on the floor , pull of the rubber dome and you can see the switch, it is basicaly a bit of spring steel that when touching makes the contact for pump to run and when up contact is broken so pump stops , just check that contacts are not touching all the time ,spring might be a bit tired and need pulling up to clear , hope this helps ,it is easier than it sounds ,when you have the rubber dome of you will see what i mean
