I own a Senator Wyoming which is fitted with a Whale Smartflo onboard water pump.  This provides great water flow, superb shower pressure and is easy to use.  The problem is the noise.  It sounds like someone's left their 1974 Ford Transit ticking over under the bench.  We've even had other campers complain when we run the tap late at night.  The guys at Discover Leissure tel me that this is quite normal for this type of pump and that no-one else complains. 

Has anyone else encountered this????

I've not had this particular problem but I have cured a noisy pump by using flexible piping on both sides of the pump so any vibrations are not spread through the whole plumbing system.  It would be worth while looking at exactly how yours is fitted and if the pipes are rigid then change them and see if that helps.
