Fresh water worked fine on our last trip 4 weeks ago, but this weekend, water only worked when attached to hookup. No fresh water from tank.
Any ideas? Power on, pump on, tank full.. no water comes out.

    Could have an air buble in the pump line - has happened to others.
    Might search "no water" or "water pump" or something similar - theres remedies outlined.

    Thanks PXLated. Air could be it since I did empty my tank after last trip.

    How does one remove an air bubble, in the fresh water line?

    One method is detaching the fresh water hose from the pump and sucking :-)
    There's others if you search. I've had luck with it just working itself out with the sloshing while traveling.

    FIXED: I put my fresh water hose down about 5 inches into fresh water hole on side. Blew with all my might. About 10 or 15 blows in, I heard the water under my sink  run. I opened the drain valves and water came out. I closed them and turned on my water pump - BAM! Problem  solved. Must have been an air bubble. I had drained my fresh water tank after the last trip. I won't be doing that again.

    Glad you got it working.
    I had a bubble once that prevented me from filling the tank more than half way - The sloshing during travel worked it out and was able to finish filling at my next stop.
