Does This Sound Crazy... Water Softener
I would like to put a water softener in my coach sometime this season. The water/sewage service bay is too crowded and not tall enough for a water softener or even water filters. What I am thinking ...

We have used a WaterPur Mark 8000 (8000 grain unit) for about five years,
In CO where we spend the summers the water hardness is 20 grains per gallon. We use about 13 gallons of water per day so it can go about 30 days without being recharged. In AZ where we winter, the water hardness is over 50 grains per gallon and I have to recharge every 12 days or so. A Waterstik would have to be recharged here every couple of days.
I have mine and the filter between it and the park hose bib fitted with quick disconnects. The filter is in the service bay and the softener sits upright on the ground just to the right of the service bay.
On the road I use the short connecting hose to connect the output to the input and carry it in the trunk of the toad. If it is really cold I take it in the motor home and store it in the shower overnight.
Now that we are staying in the house during the summer I store it with the recharge salt water in it. That is what the manufacturer said to do.
