Smile Fresh water tank

This is out first weekend out with our 2014 sandpiper bhok. We filled our tank and have the pump on but water does not come on inside. Is there a value we are missing to turn on. Please help! Thanks!

Is your winterizing valve still open ?




Did you set water heater valve to summer position?


Purge air from water heater?

Similar thing happened to me last weekend. Our unit came winterized and we were filling fresh water for the first time. Turns out there is a valve that leads into the pump that comes from where you hook up winterizing fluid. If open it allows you to fill fluid into hoses for winter. But if open when trying to use water pump all you get is gurgling and no water. Water pump works fine when hooked up to city water though. This could be your issue.
