Camper Trailer Water Pump, Voltage question

[Snaga Wishing I was lost Find all posts View Profile Close Snaga]

Hi all... and sorry if this is elsewhere, the term 'water pump' + other variations returned way to many hits

As one does, I was tinkering with the camper trailer and noticed that the Shurflo water pump is a 24V model. As far as I can tell the rest of the system is 12V so I am wondering what issues this might cause.
a. I'm guessing the pump would be laboring and not doing it any good.
b. Will it be draining the CT's battery any quicker?
c. Is it worth swapping it out for a 12v one?

Something like these maybe...

Thanks for any advise you can offer...

You'll burn out the 24v version very quickly Leon, you need a 12v version asap unless you put two batteries in series just to power that pump.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks Dave. That's what I expected...
