Newbie Question

I've got a question about the water pump. We have never dry camped and probably never will but who knows. My question is this, do I need to use the water pump when connected to city water or is it only connected to the fresh water tank

You will only need the water pump when pumping from your water tank. The pressure from your city water connection will do when hooked to it.

What ^^^ said.


On a side note, sometimes water at campgrounds is at a very high pressure. Be sure to use a pressure regulator.

That's what I thought but just needed confirmation. And I do have a water pressure regulator. It was one of the first things I bought after a good friend told me about his lines blowing out under excessive pressure on their first outing.
