City water or On-board tank?
Can anyone provide specific reasons why one is better than another? I see a lot of folks who fill/use their tanks even at a site with city water hookup. I understand that you may want to have so...

It sounds like the main reason that folks advocate using the fresh water tank instead of city water is the eliminate the possibility of a leak or other water intrusion when you're away from the site.
But wouldn't you have to turn off your water pump when you leave, to avoid the same issue?
Seems like the same difference to me -- turning off the city water nozzle or turning off the pump.
Or am I missing something obvious?
If we are not actively using water, the water pump is off even when we are there. Our routine:
Turn on pump, wash hands, turn off pump.
Turn on pump, brush teeth, turn off pump.
Turn on pump, flush toilet, turn off pump.
Turn on pump, shower, turn off pump.
I think you see a pattern starting to emerge. We don't have to remember to turn the pump off when leaving or sleeping because the pump is already off. It isn't that hard to turn the pump on every time you want to use water. If you forget, the faucet reminds you quite quickly.
