There are no "impellers" in the water pumps on RVs. These are diaphragm pumps and consequently don't depend on the fluid being pumped for lubrication. No more wear on the pump wet or dry.

Even better... So maybe running it dry will have very little effect on it at all!

I ride it like I stole it!

.......and I just may have.......

I'm on "CB-13", are you?

You only ran it for half an hour. If it'd been 30 days I'd be buying the rebuild kit, but this is about a tank of water, nothing more. These tend to supply about one gallon per minute at the faucet.
