Water pump in 2014 roo 233s

My water pump has started coming on for a second or two about every 15 to 20 minutes. I have searched all over no leaks all air out of lines. Maybe leaking back into the tank? I don't know is this normal ?

You have a slight pressure leak somewhere. Normal..? No. As you have a 'leak' somewhere. Many people leave their pumps on all of the time and have no 'leakage'. Normal...? Yes.... as it is a closed system and pressure is bleeding off somewhere. It is not leaking back into the tank, as the pump is forcing the pressure forward into your piping system and not 'backward' into your fresh water tank. If you can not 'find' the 'bleed' and it is not visible then turn your pump off when not in use. I had a 'bleed' problem and it turned out to be inside the wall at the tube fixture connection. I am not saying that this is your 'problem', but you do have a 'problem. Water is 'leaking' (small leakage) somewhere. If it is under warranty, take it back and have the dealer find the 'leak'.

It could be internal in the pump. There is a check valve inside the pump to prevent pressure leaking backwards in the line. I had to replace it on a previous camper.

I've had this issue or similar.
In mine there was air in the system.

I ran each and every tap "hot and cold".
Inside shower and exterior shower.
And toilet to remove air.

I usually only have this problem in the spring or after draining water heater.

It could also be a low point drain cap ever so slightly leaking.

Be sure & check your outside shower. Check to see that the valves are shut off & not just the off button on the shower head.

I have a similar problem except I found the leak, the ck valve on the city water intake was allowing water to drip out letting the pressure fall enough to kick the pump on. Take a look there and the drain valves they could be dripping very slowly so you may not notice. Put a pan under them and look later and see if you have water.

Could the toilet be leaking then?

If your gonna have a leak, that one will not ruin the camper at least.

Talked to the dealer they said to ck for leaks there are none I pulled Evey panel off and ck it all. They also said to ck fittings on pump it may be suckig air found 1 loose so tightened it up . it seems better only came on twice in a few hours. I thought the same with city water but saw no ck valve comes up from the pump to a tee rt side goes to filter left side goes to city water connection. Where would ck valve be?
