Water pump

Looking for opinions/experiences of others... Sportscoach 405FK with washer and 1 bathroom. Need to replace the water pump. What gpm and psi should I be looking at? We seldom dry camp. Maybe 1 or 2 nights on the road at a WalMart or rest area while enroute to a destination. Tankless hot water if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

I would go bigger (gpm) than what came in the unit. In this situation, in my opinion, size does matter. I replaced mine with a variable speed, larger gpm unit. My tt is in storage now so I can't tell you what unit I used.

Just a thought. Because you are having to go into it anyway regardless of what pump you install you may want to look at installing a pulse dampener tank at the same time.

Your only need is the correct pump for your "Water Heater" that is determined by "Type/Series/Model#/Serial#/MFG" of the Heater! Some are "Touchy" even when hooked to City Water! I don't think you will be doing much "Washing and Drying Clothes" at Wal Mart,I could be wrong! Youroo!!
