No water running ?

[ILOVESALLY]

I just moved 2 sites over and now for some reason there is no water running into the Airstream. I have water running through the hose. As soon as I hook it up there's no water in the Airstream, why is this? I haven't done anything different than just move detach and reattach.

Hose or check valve is plugged?

[ILOVESALLY]

Ok what should I do to fix it?

Disconnect the city water hose. Turn on the pump and verify that you are getting water to the faucets from the fresh water tank. Check each faucet.

Check the city water hose by letting some water run out on the ground. Reattach the city water hose and try the faucets again. Try more that one faucet to be sure that the problem is not with one of the faucets.

I tried all of above still the same. No luck.

Will water run if you use the pump?

[Nomad518]

To clarify...You're not able to get fresh water through the faucets when using the internal water pump (and you have water in your fresh water tank) or the fresh water hookup from the campground?

[ILOVESALLY]

Correct, Nomad518.

[ILOVESALLY]

Sorry Nomad518 I can draw water from the fresh water tank with the pump. I just can't get it from city.

did you accidentally hook up to the black tank flush

Check the check valve. Right where the hose attaches there is a small valve that you can see and touch. It has a spring behind it and when you push in on the little center it should move. It is there to prevent back flow. Perhaps something got stuck in it or it has locked up?

If you have water out of the hose and if all the faucets are working then this could be the last possibility.

If not as Alan asked, is there crud on the filter screen where you hook up your hose from the campground faucet to the inlet on your trailer? If so, get a toothbrush and clean it off. Then, try again.

I don't see a valve but if I take a small Allen key I can feel a gasket or rubber membrane as I poke through the middle?

Move back to your old site. LOL

Turn on the water pump inside. Go back outside and use a small allen wrench to 'push' in the center of the 'city water' inlet in your picture.... does any water come out? How much 'pressure'?

Do you have the 'plumbing' schematic? Look and find the 'City water' connection, then trace it back toward the pump... do you see a 'check' valve? Where?

Since my other suggestion was a bust....... I'll make another guess.

I'm thinking there must have been some critter or nest inside the hose bib when you hooked up the hose and now it's in you pipes. Maybe if you open up the low point drain whatever it is might flush out. If water comes through the drain without pushing trash out, at least you will know the blockage is beyond the drain. If it does not, then you know the blockage is before the drain.

Another thought.... when you were moving did you store something in the compartment where the winterizing valve are, maybe a valve opened or closed?

Now for the rest of the story, we' ll have to wait I guess....
