Went about 220 miles and refueled. After about 50 miles the fuel gauge suddenly started indicating just under 3/4 of a tank. At least I am not getting the low fuel light which was VERY annoying. I will just keep close watch on my travel miles and make sure to refuel after 350 to 500 miles.

BTW, did something really stupid. When I de-winterize for my latest trip I decided not to put any water in the storage tank as I was intending to only use city water supply. Big mistake and I should have known better. Some how the water pump got turned on and of course this burned up the pump. Total rookie mistake and one I should not have made. Not a huge deal just something else to fix.

Easy fix, less than $100. Most folks carry a spare.

True. I always had a spare with my 2017 Thor Siesta. I will order two when I get home and carry a spare for the next time it stops working.

FWIW
i pull the fuse when I winterize so the pump can't be turned on.



I had to replace my pump in 2023, I was on the road and bought the cheapest pump the dealer had, it's from Lippert and works well but it is quite so can't hear it running.

Turns out the pump is not the stock original pump. It is the newer model that has thermal protection. This made me dig a little deeper. The pump is fine, there was just a loose wire. The joy of shaking out all the issues of a used MH. Just part of the journey.
