Hooking up the water for the first time
We did not just hook up everything at once and hope for the best, we have tried as you can tell with all our questions that we are doing one thing at a time on this old girl. Today it is the water. ...

Water hookup Update. We have decided we are lazy today, Canada Day here, and as a stat holiday have decided to not work on the water. Not to mention we keep having pop up thunder storms. Hard to see any drips under motorhome with the ground all wet. We are instead, taking out a chair and then next weekend going to live on the edge and take it to a campground. Hook the water up and say a little prayer, fingers crossed, so on and so on. Wish us luck.
I would still invest a little time in checking out the water system PRIOR to your camping trip. Hooking up hose (with regulator) and pressurizing the plumbing system only takes about 20 mins.You can then check for leaks, etc. and repair while at home vs in a campground.
Water heater bypass valve closed....cold inlet valve open and hot outlet valve (if you have one) open so WH fills then you can test it for operation.
Hooked up to shore power (plugged in) your converter should supply the 12 DC System (some converters need a battery to act as load for converter). Fridge needs 12V DC for control circuit, water heater needs it if you have a electronic type.
Basic water system......
Do a little 'driveway' camping.......less frustrating if something goes wrong
Yes that would be the best plan, we have to have it out of our driveway by this Thursday the latest..city by laws, before it out stays its welcome. Tonight would be our only chance and our weather is up and down here, we will see.
