Setting up RV to use water pump instead of Park Supply

My water pressure at my winter park is low 40 PSI and does not supply enough supply to my kitchen sink or bathroom sinks.

I have talked to others about their water flow and many don't use the parks supply. Their RV's always use the water pump for pressure.

My RV has a valve where I can select to fill my fresh tank or use park pressure.

I wondered if I can change it up so that the fresh tank would fill and not overlfow and then use my water pump to get the proper pressure as the other RV's do ?

Anyone done this type of conversion ?
If yes how ?

  • You would just have to manually fill your tank and turn on the pump. If you leave the city water connected it will help with pressure with the pump on. You would need some kind of float switch in the tank to have it fill automatically and I think that would be more work than it is worth.
