I have checked the circuit breaker.  Is there a fuse too?

Daisy, how do you get access to the water tank drain valve? From 
underneath the trailer?  A secret panel?  I haven't found anything  
in the maintenance or owners manuals about valves in that area.  But 
then I haven't read them cover to cover like you!

Yes, we will want to replace the pump eventually, but it won't happen 
before this trip, and we would really like to lighten our load by 
dumping the tank.  Anyway, won't the tank have to be drained when we 
replace the pump?

Thanks again,
