If the dumps shut, water in the tank and pump running it must be an air lock.... Or a leak.
Remove the shower head and suck on the hose with the pump running.... Seriously, it's a common way to remove air locks.

Any air coming out of the taps when you open them ?

Check the pick up tube in the tank hasn't come adrift, I've had that happen.

No air coming out,

 

[Swifter]

Does the pump run all the time or just when you open the taps?
Have you tried the solutions pappajohn and Lenny HB mentioned ?

 

[steve the chip]

Pump running all the time.

 

[steve the chip]

Tried sucking shower pipe, can here bubbling on hot, can’t suck on cold setting.

Try opening one cold tap only and let it run for a few mins.

So pump runs all the time , no water coming from taps when opened on hot or cold and no water coming out form boiler dump ? Have you checked the physical level of the fresh water tank rather than just reading the water gauge which could be faulty?

 

[steve the chip]

Tried cold tap only, still no joy.

 

[steve the chip]

Just got on site and filled up tank.

 

[Swifter]

I can only suggest double checking the dump valve just incase .

What boiler do you have? On ours we have a button that needs to be pushed in thats situated a few inches from the dump valve.

Newbie. What am I doing wrong

New Pegaso A745, 4 Weeks into MH so an awful lot to learn. The water pump doesn’t cut off and the water empties out of the rear end of the van until the water is turned off on the panel. The water empties from where the boiler is be sited under the rear lounge seating. What have I done wrong,

Any luck steve the chip ?

Have you let it run for a while? There around 10 litres in the boiler if you have one and more in the pipes. It can take a while to come through. You could have a cracked filter before the pump that’s just drawing in air.

Hopefully the OP will return and give us an update at some point to help other members in the future if they have a similar problem

We are back home now. Thank you for your replies in trying to help us with the water issue.
we found the the problem to be the shower point in the boot had the collar jammed back as though the shower pipe was fitted when it wasn’t! When I was bringing the water thro the pipes it was going straight into the boot! We had a wet boot but no damage thankfully. Thanks again for the response.
