I bought a $12.95 submersible bilge pump from Wal mart. It's lasted ten years and just drops into the tank and hangs there on the wires and hose just like the FuFu special vanagon/westy pump. It puts out plenty of water and has never failed.

Check around the RV world and you will find 10 year old pumps are on the unusual side. If the pump is pumping but does not get all the way up to the top then the pump is probably dead. Most of those small pumps are supposed to do about 1 gal per minute at a 24 or 36 inch head. (however I have found that .6 to.75 gallon at sink height to be more realistic) ........................................ jimt Planned insanity is best.
