Fresh water system issue?
Ok: Freshwater tank full, pump runs and runs, never seem to pressure up and stop running....sounds like lots of air in the lines, but it never seems to stop... ???????????

So being new to this I:m not sure about valve locations and positions...There is a small valve that looks like it isolates the antifreeze line, then there is a larger valve with hot and cold water lines attached to it, the small one has a single handle that turns about a 1/4 turn. the larger is similar to a residential valve under the sink. oval and turns several turns, this one should be aligned with the lines right???? in other words the "points" of the oval handle in line with the hot and cold lines.....
More info is needed. What part of the trailer are you looking??? What is the closest piece of equipment that is plumbed near these valves. With so many makes and models of trailers, it is hard to discern what exactly we are troubleshooting.
I can tell you that I have two quarter turn valves very close to my HW tank. Almost always the physical handle position is indicative of the valve's position. If the handle is parallel to the pipe/hose, the valve should be open.
The oval handled valve that you speak of should just be fully on or off.... typically, these are turned to the left to open and to the right to close.
Have you given the hot water tank time to fill?? If properly winterized, you will need at about six gallons of water to displace the air in the tank. That can take a few minutes. Also, make sure the drain plug at the bottom was reinserted and the pressure relief valve at the top has been set back to close.
