Mar 27, 2018This whole discussion comes down to what an individual is comfortable with. There are always going to be RV'ers that will say that they have been camping for XX number of years and have never had a problem with that. I think that is great and wonderful. No judgment from me on their time spent RVing.
For me, it was a simple decision. There is absolutely ZERO chance of my rig having a water leak and causing damage to the interior of my rig due to the plumbing system while I am away (this obviously doesn't take into chances of leaking due to mother nature). I turn the pump off when I leave. My procedure each morning does not cause me any lost time to turn off the pump when I'm leaving. Running off the pump and water tank doesn't cause me any additional cost either.
The camping experience in a RV remains unchanged for me whether I'm on city connection or pump and fresh water tank connection.
Other campers can do what they want to make their camping experience happy for them.
This is the same discussion as surge protector or no surge protector.
