Thanks Jim. Another member did this to his Lance 980. Great idea and I thanked him.

Installed a new Surflo 4008 pump. The old one,5yrs, was acting strange so I thought I'd replace it before the next trip.
This thing is so quite you can barely hear it run. I had an expansion tank on the old pump. The instructions say this new model doesn't need one. I hooked it up anyway, I'll see what happens.

This morning I turned on the pump, no air leak, yeah...

I recently installed a Draw-Tite front mount hitch that I bought from etrailer.com on my truck and I love it. Now I can put the cargo carrier on the front end instead of on the back end where it got in the way of opening the camper door when loaded with a generator, gas and water.
