Thanks for the info. I had thought maybe it was simply filling empty lines as I had used an air compressor to blow out the lines and emptied everything with low point drains opened. Maybe I just...

Yea, 1 1/2 gallons into the system through the water pump, and 1/2 gallon left for drains. If there was a leak somewhere in the system, wouldn’t the water pump run constantly if it was in normal...

I used 2 gallons. About 1 1/2 gallons went into the lines, and then almost all of the leftover went into the drains of the sinks.

The one thing I found odd is that when the water pump is set up...

I honestly never thought to call Equalizer, but that would have been a great idea. I actually reached out to Camping World, and after not a lot of discussion, they actually agreed to give me a 1,200...

I didn’t know I could go to a scale and unhitch. I was looking at trailer tongue scales, and was going to make the investment, but maybe a commercial scale would be a god starting point. Thanks!
