Fresh water tank-is it needed?

Hi all! In the middle of ripping out floors on our HTT and am wondering if we really need to reinstall the fresh water tank/pump/etc. obviously we are newbies, so please don't make fun of me too much for not knowing, but I do know we will not be boondocking with this...everywhere we go, we will have water hook ups, and we will use bottled water for drinking. Do I need to install the fresh water tank? The pump was right by that-if I'm only using City water hook ups, do I need a pump? Any feedback would be appreciated. I know for resale value it would need to be installed, but I'm 98% sure we aren't going to be reselling this camper, at least not to get any decent money out of it.

    We had a popup for 9 years, and never put any water in the fresh water tank. We went to a TT, and I do use the tank some. We've used the bathroom while on the road, and the sink. We could have done without it, but it was handy.

    If you have all the parts, and weight isn't a concern, It isn't a lot of work I'd put it back. But I don't think it would really matter a ton either way.

    If you always plan on having city connections and don't plan on selling then you don't need a fresh water tank or a pump.
