Sounds to me like your trailer used an old school method of an air compressor to pressurize the water tank.
While it did work it is less than ideal (think of what happens when a tank springs a leak) and someone may have simply disconnected the air pump and converted the system to a non pressurized tank as you would find on newer RVs. They may have just skipped having a water pump if they always camped in places with city water hookups.
Sounds like there was a lot of modifications done and you will need to really spend some time sorting out all the systems...
