After winterizing my motor home last fall, my water pump runs but does not pump water it appears to have an air lock and doesn't seem to syphon the water to prime it.
Any idea's on how to get a prime on this pump?
2002 Itasca 39" DP
Thanks in advance

Did you check your fill/normal valve is in the normal position?

My valve is right were you fill the tank? how did you winterize? did you take the line off at the pump? oh, is it a 2002 Itasca or a 82 Rambler?

Glad you got it figured out. That still happens to me now and then. I have a habit of switching the valve to "fill"before I disconnect the water hookup to relieve the pressure to keep it from spraying.....then forgetting to switch it back.
