Hi;
I have just bought a 13' Trillium with a manual rocker pump in it. I would like to stay with the original pump ,but the bottom plastic cylinder is scored inside and will not hold a prime.
Does anybody know where a person can buy parts for these pumps ?
I need the bottom plastic part and the rubber piston gasket.

Thank You for any help you can give me. Bill C

Bill you didn't say what brand of water pump, but maybe the ShurFlo manual in the Document Center will help?

.....IMHO:
....for all its worth, the time effort to dig it out, tear it apart and find replacement parts, you'd be better to scurry on down to your nearest well equipped r/v sales place and just buy a whole new pump. Its NOT about to let ya down as long as you own it. They aren't very spendy either.

Hi Doug ;

Maybe your right. The only thing is access to a well equipped RV store. I am about 150 miles from any large center . Maybe I can find one on line.

Thanks Bill

Try finding a place online that will ship. There are many advantages to living up here (I'm in the Fort), but parts availability is limited.

edit: Crappy tire has a pump that looks like a windshield washer pump on steroids at a quasi reasonable price.

If it helps, I Googled Coleman RV Water Pump and it appears it's something used on pop up tent trailers....

Hi Paul;

The area is great but as you say the shopping is limited. I am about 20 miles west of Atikokan.

I was going to check out CT next time in town

Regards Bill

What your looking for can likely be found on pages 378-379 of this catalogue There are the 2 most common water taps to the Trilliums of the mid '70's shown.

If you give any RV shop these numbers and tell them they are from the Coast Catalogue, they can ususally get it in reasonably short order. Most RV shops will make arrangements for Purlolator / Canpar / UPS / Postal Service etc.

Hey Bill,
I see you didn't need my photo, but I am glad you are set on that. When I bought my 1978 Trillium 4500 it had 2 "ACar" Rocket pumps like the one in the lower left hand corner of the page. these are the originals. You will be set. If there is anything else I can help you with let me know. I owned 3 Trillium at once last year.
