I think I have it solved..kind of anyway. There is an adjustment on the pump. A small set screw. I turned it about one full turn and I can tell the pump pumps with a slight bit more pressure. Now, the pump comes on one more time after using water for a few seconds and then didn't seem to come back on at all.
There is no leak. I left it on almost 24 hours straight and there is no water inside or on the driveway under the trailer. It seems the pump was bringing the lines up to full pressure, but stopping just a little too soon. It would then come on a couple three more times for a few seconds soon after and then it seems like it held pressure fine from then on. It just wasn't getting to full pressure after running water and had to run a couple more times to get it topped off. Now, it seems like it just comes on one more time for a few seconds and then that is it. I can live with that.
