Water pump use

Good evening, I just read some posts on water pump usage and want to say I have never used ours.......ever......zippo.....lol.

We have so far always stayed at State parks with hookups.

Anyway, without me walking outside and over to the TT garage to grab manual, I would like to ask how the system works? Once I add fresh water to the tank and turn on pump is anything else required? Valves need to turned from standard hose hookup?

Will the battery power the water pump? Need shore power?

All you have to do is fill fw tank and turn on the pump.
Yes the pump runsvon battery power.
You don't "need" shore power but shore power is what is used to charge the battery.

Also remember before leaving to drain tank with drain valve so you're not carrying extra weight. Unless you want some water for traveling.

most state parks here don't have water hook up so you have to use the pump. Usually tur it on when we need water and turn it off when done.

Leave a little in the FW tank for the wife's side of the road rest stops. Sometimes it's nice to carry the potty room with you.
