Basic RV water system....
Then 'water works/utility' panels started being used. Some where simple with minimal switches/valves and some were multi switches/valves.
Turn this/turn that......this one open/this one closed/this one this way/this one that way...........fill/pump/city/winterize.
OP has basic system. Gravity fill for fresh water tank. Garden hose to city water and pump sucks from fresh water tank. Normal bypass on backside of water heater.
OK on city water but can not get water to flow using pump.
Sooooo
Either there is a air leak on pump suction side or winterizing kit on suction side of pump is not closed (sucking air in)
GREAT DIAGRAM! It's nice to see it all in pictures so much easier to explain. I guessed there must be one way valves preventing backflow. But wasn't sure.
Our 5th wheel doesn't have any type of 'water works/utility' pannel. That does seem very handy however. I can see that would make it very simple.
