I was away in mh last week all was working well. Fresh water pump seemed a bit noisy and not as forceful as previously. After a couple of days use pump stopped working, it had blown a fuse.
Today I replaced the fuse which immediately blew.
Before I look to replace the pump is there anything else I should try?
If I need to replace the pump how easy is it to replace and where do I look to find it.?

My mh is a globecar scout.
 
Sounds like the pump has had it.
Globecar being a Hymer group van it probably has a submersible pump, swapping over will be easy, you may have to change the connectors.
 
I've had this...hymer submersible pump...take it out of situ, and look at the vanes on the underside of the pump...on mine they were stiff to turn (used a small screwdiver to turn them)...worked them loose, the pump was fine afterwards.
Also had an inline (possibly shure) pump blow the fuse...took the pump to bits, cleaned the crud off the moving internal parts and off the filter, worked a treat afterwards.

Hope yours is as easy.

I replaced mine last year and it was a piece of cake and I’m not particularly techie. Disconnect 2 power connections (slide off spades) unscrew 2 water connections and remove 4 screws to take off the wall and reverse to replace.
