1. Fresh Water Tank (Starting Point)

Find your fresh water tank (usually under the trailer or in a storage compartment).
This tank holds all your clean water for drinking, washing, and showering.
Make sure the tank vent is open and not blocked, so air can enter as water leaves.

2. Water Pump (Powering the System)

Turn on your water pump switch before using water inside the trailer.
When you open a faucet, the pressure drops in the lines.
The pump automatically:
- Pulls water from the fresh tank
- Pushes it through the system at about 40–50 PSI
When you close the faucet, pressure builds back up and the pump shuts off automatically.

3. Water Heater (For Hot Water)

Cold water from the pump flows into the bottom of the water heater.
The heater fills up before producing hot water.
Inside the system:
- Cold water enters the heater
- Hot water exits from the top when a hot tap is used
When you turn on hot water:
- Cold water pushes into the heater
- Hot water flows out to your faucet or shower

4. Cold Water Supply (Direct Line)

Not all water goes through the heater.
Cold water also flows directly from the pump to:
- Cold sink taps
- Shower cold side
- Other cold water fixtures

5. Fixtures (Where You Use Water)

Water splits into two paths:
- Hot water → from the water heater → hot taps
- Cold water → directly from pump → cold taps
You use water at sinks, shower, and any other outlets.

6. City Water Connection (Campground Hookup)

When connected to city water, the system changes:
- The water pump is bypassed
- External water pressure from the campground feeds your system directly
You still get hot and cold water, but it comes from the external source instead of your tank
