Whenever I head out camping the water that I use is out of the tank. I have never hooked up to city water, I think if I used my shower I would definitely hook up to city water but as I never shower in the truck camper I have no need for extra water.
As for the water pump I only actually turn it on when I needed it, then I shut it right off. This saves me forgetting it when I'm on the road or when I leave the camper. Several times I have been traveling down the road and when I stop I hear a vibrating noise coming from the truck camper, I've gone in the back to find that the water pump was running but not being able to pressurize itself it would not shut off. So because of this I started making sure that the switch is off all the time.
