Correct.......
'Fill' position fills fresh water tank
'Pump/City Pressure' supplies RV plumbing System with water
Using on-board pump is only thing that sucks water out of fresh water tank
Couple suggestions........
Fill Fresh water tank and use pump
We use to travel with only 10 gallons or so in fresh water tank and just use city water connection when we got to a CG.
That was until we got to CG and their water system went down (main line break)
We didn't have water.....add to go buy 5 gallon bottles
From then on our fresh water tank was always FULL (the additional weight didn't do anything to mpg)
And when using pump it will let you know how well your RV plumbing system is functioning...........any drop in pressure and you will hear pump 'Burrrrrr'
Then you know you have a leak.......could be minor or worst.
BUT on city water you don;t know until it becomes WORST
