Pump problem
This morning I was pumping the sewer out. Wife turned on a tab inside and the water pump quit and so did the sewer pump. Both at the same time when she opened a tab.
Checked all the breakers, nothing wrong there. Turned them on and off to make sure. Turned the breakers on and off at the campsite power plugin, nothing wrong those either. Got all electrical outlets inside working, lights, etc.
Slideout does work, levelers do work.Fans do work, etc
Only thing without power: Display panel, water pump and sewer pump.
Everything else works.
What could be wrong? I can only find the breakers in the bedroom under the bed.

That is not a breaker. Look for a popped 12 volt fuse.

The sewer pump draws a lot of current so combined with the water pump it is not surprising it failed. What size is it?

The water pump is the same size as I had in several of our truck campers.
I always thought they are the same size, not sure what size it is.
The sewer pump must be bigger because it also chops "things" to pieces.
Clean Dump Waste Macerating System - PPL Motor Homes
I find this thing a pain. Takes to long to empty the tank because it's being pumped through a narrow hose twice the size of a garden hose.
It's faster just to dump through a big sewer hose.
Beats me why they put this system in.
More expensive....takes longer...more things to go wrong with. (As happened to us this morning.
I noticed there is a connection for a regular hose, the motorhome came with that as well. But I think the pump needs to be removed in order to hook that one up. Might just do that sometime when I get back home.

You should be able to just disconnect it and use a traditional hose most of the time. The advantage of the pump is being able to pump it up hill or into a cleanout at home for example. I would not be without one.
