Noisy water pump (1 Viewer)

We have recently purchased a Celtic Rambler and find the water pump to be very noisy. Any advice out there please?

We will need more information. What make and model pump, what sort of noise and has it just started or same when you got the camper.

Don't think you'll stop the noise altogether, but I quietened it down a bit by cutting out, Washers for want of a word, from an old wet suit and adding them under the 4 feet .

As Rangi said but use a sheet of heavy foam a little larger than the pump feet.
Fix the pump to the foam using small nuts, bolts and large flat washers from the foam side upwards ensuring the bolts can't touch the floor.
Screw the foam pad to the floor with washers to stop the screws pulling through the foam.
The pump itself is then fully isolated from the floor and pump vibrations can't be transfer to the sound board (floor)
Next, check all pipework in the vicinity of the pump is securely clipped or is not touching the floor or furniture which will also act as a sound board.
After all that the only thing you should hear is the clicking of the pump and the splash of water from the taps.
