Not being a Liberty owner “yet” (many of us know he is headed towards that important life goal one coach at a time), Geo doesn’t realize that its “drawers behind doors behind doors … “.

Geo is talking about the decorative doors behind the bay doors on XLII coaches.

Open a bay to get at what you want, but before you can do that you have to open a door with stainless skin that looks like the skin on the bay door.

I’m sure some like that feature, but I removed all the doors on mine. It was a pain in the ass opening a door just to open another door. That is a feature that is hard to defend when the reason for another feature is to save weight.

Oh A1, you hit one of the Liberty nails on the Head!! I will Amen that one!

Thanks to everyone’s input, I have talked to Headhunter and they do not know why I have had so many pump failures. The size piping is correct, the distance from the freshwater tank is 2 feet, etc. They claim that the Mach 5 has been very trouble free for them. Either way I have installed an accumulator tank and an auxillary pump. If and when the inevitable happens, I shall be ready. Tight quarters putting all that in such as small area.

Jon, Thank you for the pictures, and the heads up on the size pump and pressure tank to get. It works just as you described.

I think if Headhunter is able to determine a reason for the premature failures it would be helpful if the information was passed along. A lot of coaches with a Headhunter pump have no backup and the lack of water is a serious problem, especially if you are travelling and do not have the luxury of waiting for a replacement and then have to install it.

I carry a new pump onboard for that problem , the new pump is a headhunter Mach 5, it only takes 30 mins to change one out

[Will]

I’d like to see you do that in 30 minutes. It usually takes me that long to fix all the leaks after screwing with the plumbing.

Come and watch Jon but might take another 30 to get all things tight and bolted down , I already have the twist lock plug put on,

So u bust my balls on how long it takes ok buddy total 1 hour max LoL

Jon,

I believe I could do it in 30 minutes with all of my experience. Those PVC unions make a swap very quick

but don’t misunderstand I do not want a reason to try out my skills.

jon, does having both pumps plumbed in parallel improve the flow rate? I’m not so impressed with mine. Works as good as any other rv I’ve had, but I’d love a little nicer performance and added redundancy

[Mike & Brigitte]

The Original Headhunter plumbing is left unchanged with the exception of teeing into the line before and after it so the small back up pump has no impact on flow rate. I keep the valves in the lines to and from the back up pump closed except when using the back up pump.

When using the back up pump I close the valve(s) to the Headhunter for the same reason which is to prevent water flowing in a circle.

The Headhunter pump delivers far more flow than we have ever been able to use at one time. We can flush the toilet, shower and do dishes or laundry and never see any change in the water flow rate. The back up pump on the other hand with its limited output can be easily overcome so if the time comes to have to use it we will just have to manage what water we use and when.
