Discussion has taken place regarding westy water pumps in the drinking water tanks. I have an '83 westy that is in need of a different pump. It gets warm as in getting current but doesn't pump water. The bus is in extra super condition but has needed several items replaced due to LACK of use and dryness. (enough to make the east coast folks cry). I have been told that a replacement is a small bilge pump that is sold in the Wal-Mart/K-Mart type of stores in the fishing-outdoor departments. This is an acceptable substitution for stock or high priced R/V suppliers as long as the purchaser takes the time to make sure that the specifics of voltage and flow (and of course water proofing/electrics!!) are the same. Cost estimated at $20-30 range as a guess. I intend to try it as soon as the next pay check hits my wallet. Does anyone have a substitute or insight on this subject that hasn't been discussed? .......................................Westfalia........................
