BTW, no one has mentioned this, but when you are hooked up to city water, turn your on-board water pump off. There is no need for it as the RV's water system will instead be pressurized by the city water pressure.
IF left ON......so what?
It won't run unless pressure drops low enough to start pump.
Pump won't use any power unless it runs
Doesn't hurt a thing if left ON
OK, so you're right; it won't hurt a thing if left on. I'm just not in the habit of leaving something turned on all weekend that I don't need, and I guess I'm lucky in that my shower works fine on city water (even through a 40psi regulator)...so to each his own.
