Water on - shaking & noise starts

john56

We finally dewinterized our 2020 TAB 320 Boondock Edge and started to use the water in the toilet, shower, and sink.  When we turn the water on, there is a loud noise and shaking.  I am guessing the water flow and/or water pump is causing one or more of the pipes to hit against something.  I am unable to determine exactly where the noise is coming from but it seems to be near the toilet.  Anyone know what it might be?

The pre 2021 S model water pump is in the hatch over the toilet.  Is the faucet sputtering or is it the pump rattling?  Some owners have used pipe insulation to pad the area of the pump to prevent that noise.

The faucet sputters a little.  I have opened the box to show the pump and it does not appear to be moving much.  It is almost like the pipes behind the driver's side wall are shaking and possibly hitting something.  I might try to see if I can put some pipe insulation on pipes that I can reach.  Thanks for the idea.

Here are threads about noisy pumps and the pipe insulation mods.

Thanks for the threads.  I have a few things to do now.  I will start with the pipe insulation.

You may also have air in the water lines, that needs to be purged?
