We were planning to "WalDock" at a WalMart tonight, but when we got pulled in, we discovered that the water pumps on the bus were not working. This meant that we would have no water pressure for the night... no sink, toilet, shower, etc. We didn't figure that we could survive with no bathroom for the night, and researching/fixing it in the WalMart parking lot didn't seem to be a great idea.
So, we're staying at the Normandy Farms Campground for the evening!

Their website says that they are a luxury campground destination and also that it is a family camping resort. It is *very* nice (though a bit out of our price goal of $15/night!) - we're paying $61.20 with our Good Sam Club discount.
But... they have water and electric hookups and we have a beautiful site.
In our diagnosing, we've found that both of the water pumps are getting power, so at this point, we're thinking that we have 2 bad water pumps. It might seem odd that both would go out at the same time, but we had our control set to run *both* pumps (A/B), so it could be that one went out a while ago, and the second decided to give up the ghost today.
On the positive side, this is something that any RV service center should be able to help us with - no need for someone who particularly knows Bluebirds.
And, we've learned a little about another system on the bus... and will probably have our water pump set to either A or B in the future, so we have a backup available when one goes out!

| When we had the problem with the power cord reel back in November, I knew that the fuse/relay #27 was for the water pump - so we emptied out the cabinet over our bed and made sure that was ok - it was. |

| We have access to the water pumps through a small side door, but getting to them to remove them is going to take a bit more effort... |
