If you have PEX pipe in the RV and you don't have a cheap filter canister, you should be OK with the little Vlair.
FWIW I have the older air pump system and the fresh water tank is pressurized to push water rather than a pump drawing from the tank. There is a Schrader valve on the fill cap on the exterior. There is also a pressure gauge in this cap. I start my construction grade Hitachi and pressure the tank and system. My pex supply lines are all new, BTW.
I start at the furthest fixture, the bathroom sink, and open that valve. I only have the toilet, shower, and the Kitchen sink after this. Last time, I shuffled back outside to the fill cap and it read 90 psi. That was unexpected but it was a good test for my new plumbing.
