Maxjr758, check to see if your "city fill" valve is completely shutting off. If it is not closed off entirely, or if the valve is not seating properly, the pressure the pump builds up will slowly leak past the "city fill" valve, back into the fresh water tank, resulting in lowered pressure, and your pump starting up to maintain the proper pressure. This happens to me if I forget to completely close off the city fill valve. Hope this helps!

City water valve -tank fill valve.
We had that same problem. Got so bad that we'd only turn the pump on when needed. Finally took the valve apart and stuck in a new washer. What a difference a 50¢ part can make sometimes!

I have the Anderson 'Kantleak" valve . I called Remco, they say completely fill the fresh water tank, open all faucets(hot and cold), run the washing machine, shower, outdoor shower, flush the toilets 3-4 times. This to get all the air out of the system, which they say I why the pump won't shut off. Said any air in the system is seen as a demand for water, by the sensor circuit In the pump controller.
I will check before I use all that water.

Refrigerator fix
Put two small 12 volt directional fans in back blowing up across heat exchanger. Went from 42 to 33 degrees. Individual switches.

Finally got her winterized. Almost waited too long. Lines were partially frozen. Had to open the cupboards and turn the heat on for about 2 hours.
Then dumped 4 gallons of antifreeze in the tank, jacked up the front and the side so it would all run back to the corner where the pump is. Turned on the pump and sucked it through all the lines[emoji3]

Annual maintenance. Changed the oil and filter in the coach, lubed the chassis, and changed the oil and filter in the generator. Good for another year.
