Hello everyone! During a recent trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone, I noticed that connecting to city water was filling the gravity well. Based on my reading it seems like a failed check valve is the culprit. I went to look at replacing and was able to locate the water pump, but I cannot see a good way of accessing the area.
Does anyone have advice for accessing the water pump area in a HIKE model 171DB?
This is a pretty old thread, but it comes up when searching. So, just in case… On my Hike 171DB, the water pump is located under the kitchen sink. You have to pull the inside panel off the bottom of the slide, and it’s mounted right there. I hope this helps.
I got lucky, and my issue was a blown fuse right there at the pump, replaced it, and I turned her right on. I love when it’s an easy fix.
Thanks. Seems like a weird design to take off that whole panel. Might need to figure a water pump hatch to put in. Mods are always fun. Anyway thanks for taking the time to reply—-it seemed more complicated when I was trying to figure it out.
