I had the summer loop (your right, stupid name) replaced at Newmar about 6 months ago. And while I have no problem replacing the 3 pumps, I don't see the reasoning behind it if the pumps are not the problem.The best one to answer that is going to be ITR but I've become all too familiar with this contraption due to issues. If I were you I would replace all three pumps and just new them all up. Get a 5 year service kit and new all that up. Then go from there. You don't know the history of the care of your OASIS I don't believe so this may just save you grief later. If you're attending a rally that ITR is participating in then they may be able to do all of this for you but it's not that hard. The link for the US solar pump vendor is probably in this thread and definitely on this site, order 4-5 pumps if you're going to replace 3.
In two hours you can be done with the above, maybe three. Then we can start looking at other items such as electricity, relays, etc. which I hope are not an issue but not hard to replace either, I had one that was bad, simple bad connector. Cheap and easy but highly doubt you have that problem.
Zone 1 and 2 are furnace/heat providers
Summer loop is hot water (pump with a stupid name)
As you mentioned, Zone 1 & 2 pumps are furnace/heat providers, I don't believe they get any assistance from the summer loop normally or in bypass mode. So if I'm getting heat in the coach, these two pumps have to be working.
That leaves the summer loop. It could have failed and is getting assistance from pumps 1 & 2, but if that is the case, then pumps 1 & 2 have to be working.
So the majority of pumps are working otherwise I couldn't get heat in both coach zones as well as hot water from the summer loop. Edit: Also, and I forgot to mention this earlier, but the Silverleaf reports "Zones OK", "Heater OK", and "No AC Input". When the summer loop died last time, the Silverleaf showed "Zone Fault". And while the Silverleaf doesn't tell me which zone is faulted, it does report when one is.
Or have I missed something?
