So... Third trip in the 171 is this weekend and unlike the past two trips this time we will be dry camping... So I decided to check out the water system using the pump - it did not go so well.

So... Third trip in the 171 is this weekend and unlike the past two trips this time we will be dry camping... So I decided to check out the water system using the pump - it did not go so well.
It takes about 30 to 45 seconds for the pump to "pump up" to pressure, then I get a good solid stream of water (about two to three cups) then the water slows down to a trickle with the pump running like mad. The pump sounds like it may be sucking air while the faucets are open - I don't see any leaks and the fresh water tank is full. This is happening on all the faucets... Any ideas out there?
