so sorry! I had an account I didn't even know about. I guess I made it a long time ago and it was logged in from this computer I haven't used in awhile. I notified the moderator to delete it along with the post.
Anyway, best answer I got was this:
Short term workaround: remember to turn off the pump whenever you don't use it. Never a bad idea, especially when you leave the camper.
If there really is no leak an all faucets are closed, there is only one way the pressure can go: From the pump back to the feeder line. The fact that it has always been loosing pressure, but more slowly,would indicate either that or a leak.
Normal behavior is that it holds pressure more or less indefinitely. With the small exception that the pump may briefly run when the water heater was heated, then turned off and cools down.
Check the pump head and check valve; disassemble where needed. Something may be dirty, clogged, broken. Either that, or an undetected leak.
