I'm pretty sure we did indeed leave pressure in the lines after leaving the last campground. We're new to this type of camping (previously pop-ups) so did I incorrectly assume that unhooking the fresh city water hose lets the pressure out?
Disconnecting the water hose does nothing to the line pressure inside RV because there is a check valve in that city water connection......so water doesn't squirt out thru it when using the on-board pump (same system---just different water sources---pump has an internal check valve so water doesn't go back thru pump into fresh water tank when using city water connection)
SO whether you use city water connection or the pump the plumbing system is pressurized until you relieve the pressure by opening a faucet---hot and cold sides
And if you have an outside shower don't forget to open/drain it when not using RV in cold weather.
