Just got home tonight .
Yeah, my pump is pressure sensitive, so it pumps up the system to a preset level, then kicks on as needed. audibly tapers off as pressure builds. it goes from zero pressure to full pressure and shuts off in about 10 seconds.
FYI: my water system , including the pump was overhauled by the previous owner.
Cheers!

Well, Wellcome home!!!,
     
My pump must be the stock pu,p or the switch... It just keeps pumping.....

That is how I blew a line.  Going to do any fishing???

Had abuddy go to Colorado and do some hunting a while back.  Got himself a real big buck

As he said some where around 400 pounds, I am thinking of 325lbs.  He was going to give me
the antlers. But as luck would have it ... His wife threw them out in the trash........Damn!!!!!!
I was hoping to make a real nice home for them above my fire place....  My Luck!!!!!!!
Some day I will get me some antlers!!!
Well, have a nice time at home PD2......    John

Do you have a pressure tank in your system?

[prophetdaniel2]

? not sure what a pressure tank is?

[JerryT]

A tank (small) of water with air pressure in it just like in a house with a well.

It's called an extrol tank.
basically it's a fresh water holding tank that also stores pressure. this way you can turn your water pump off and still have water and pressure to your facets.

Today I installed new facets for the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Since I wasn't on the Government bail out lists I purchased the least expensive I could

I had to remount both facets. The kitchen was converted from center mount to an 8 inch mount facet and the Bathroom was converted from a 3 inch mount to 4 inch mount. I still need to find a plug to cover the hole in the kitchen sink where the old facet was mounted.

While I was at the RV store,
I tried to find a replacement roof vent for the broken one above the bed in the overhang area. The problem I'm having is my roof vent is bigger than the ones available to buy. The one I have measures (20 3/4 x 13 3/4) from inside the motorhome, anybody know where I can get one this size ?

We call it the escape hatch and the Clipper club sells them, also you can order one from most any good R.V. store. Congrats on the progress! If you search my posts I have many pics of repairs and upgrade ideas.

Thanks, been a lot of hard work
Even after repairing all the leaks my pump wouldn't shut down, it sounded like the pump  was trying to pump air.
I have an extra pump, so I was able to examine it. I found that the pressure is adjustable, so I just turned it down and now the pump shuts off and still has plenty of pressure.
The adjustment switch is located on the end of the pump. The guy at the RV store also said low power to the pump will keep the from turning shutting off.

I'm pretty new here and am not sure where the Clipper club store is, can you point me that way ?
Thanks...

Was looking at some of your pics today, Nice Work !!!

Since you cut a 5'x6' hole over your bunk, you might how much room there is to play with between the roof supports ?

I'm thinking instead of an escape hatch a nice skylight might be the way to go.
I do know I have to do something with my escape hatch asap as the cover is totally gone and need to stop the water damage.

Looking at the ACOC order form the stock escape hatch is 13"x22" instead of 13 3/4"x 20 3/4" I measured from inside.

The reason I'm pushing myself to get my Clipper usable is my spouse and I have 30 acres with no power, water, house or anything. We have our horse and chickens there, so at least one of us has to live on the property to tend to the live stock. Winter gets pretty cold here in the Poconos, so the Clipper is our best bet to get through the winter.
