I bought a $12.95 submersible bilge pump from Wal mart.
It's lasted ten years and just drops into the tank and hangs there on the
wires and hose just like the FuFu special vanagon/westy pump.
It puts out plenty of water and has never failed.

Blue pump sounds like the orginal pump.  Check around the RV world and you
will find 10 year old pumps are on the unusual side.  If the pump is pumping
but does not get all the way up to the top then the pump is probably dead.
Most of those small pumps are supposed to do about 1 gal per minute at a 24
or 36 inch head. (however I have found that .6 to.75 gallon at sink height
to be more realistic)
