De-winterizing the Monty today getting ready for our trip to Quartzsite and tried the water pump. The water pump runs, but I don't get water. I pressurizing the system with city water and tried the pump again, still no water. I have a spare water pump and tried it, same results. I looked for a check valve that might be stuck, but couldn't find one. Call dealer's service department, got the old "could be a lot of things, bring it in". The fresh water tank is about 1/3 full. Anybody have a idea what the problem could be?

PROBLEM FIXED

The convince center has a connection for adding anti-freeze and a check valve. I capped the connection, turned on the pump and once all the air was out, had water. The check valve is bad and was sucking in air when the pumping was turned on.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
