Water pump problems

we have a truma water pump which stopped working On site. We have taken it to a mechanic who tested it using 12 v and it works. We have replaced the fuse but still not working. Any ideas? We are in darkest Croatia! 

Around the same time as pump stopped working the electric tripped. Not sure if related?

    Is it the submersible type of pump - where the pump is in the white tube on the end of the hoses and drops into the water barrel?

    When you say 'not working', is the pump not spinning or is it spinning but no water appears?

    Sometimes the white pump (or the filter if it's an on-board pump) floats to the top of the water barrel and stops pumping water.

    I recently had a problem where the pump was running but not pumping any water into the van. The problem was the charcoal filter which has somehow got blocked. A change of filter cured the problem.

    Do you have a secondary or subsidiary fuse box? We have one in a locker with spade-type fuses for the 12 volt system, separate to the main consumer unit. 

    Good point, thank you... We need to get some spare fuses ourselves...

    Good luck fixing your problem.
