I installed a new water pump a couple of years ago. I tested it in the driveway to see that it worked. But we never used it while camping, until … last summer we went to Sherando Lake campground in Virginia. That is the campground where we started tent camping years ago. We just love it there. We would walk around the RV sites thinking how luxurious it would be to have a camper. This was our first visit with the Bambi. It turns out that the RV sites have electric, but that’s all. If we wanted to use the toilet or do the dishes, we were going to have to put water in the tank and use the pump for the first time. Our friendly neighbor, Junior, loaned us his jerry can for carrying the water. We put about 15 gallons in and watched for leaks. So far so good. Then we turned on the pump. Worked like a champ! So glad to have made that repair. Sherando was as beautiful as we remembered. Will definitely look for an opportunity to return soon.
