Quick mod: Stop annoying water pump noise

By Bob Difley

If your water pump makes any noise other than the sound of the running motor, such as a vibration noise, it may be time to remount your pump.

These parts are available at any hardware store. Tell the sales clerk what you intend to do and he will direct you to the right components. They are easily installed, even by those with all thumbs, and you will enjoy the new quiet.

Russ and Tiña De Maris
Russ and Tiña went from childhood tent camping to RVing in the 1980s when the ground got too hard. They've been tutored in the ways of RVing (and RV repair) by a series of rigs, from truck campers, to a fifth-wheel, and several travel trailers. In addition to writing scores of articles on RVing topics, they've also taught college classes for folks new to RVing. They authored the book, RV Boondocking Basics.
