Hooking up the water for the first time

[Burwoods]

We did not just hook up everything at once and hope for the best, we have tried as you can tell with all our questions that we are doing one thing at a time on this old girl. Today it is the water. Again we have no idea what is up...lol. We have a pressure regulator, the hoses of course, going to look for a by pass for the hot water tank to make sure it is open. Plug the MH in and hope the pump and water heater work, and we see nothing dripping anywhere. We don't think we need to fill the fresh water tank for this test today....right? We don't really want the weight right now.

No need to level for water. Concerning the 12 VDC side of your coach, the best way to remember or determine what requires 12 VDC is life support stuff but not comfort items. Water pump, fridge controls, furnace and such. If your AC-DC convertor is functional it should have enough watts to run the water pump.

Right now I am looking for NO leaks. We do not expect any, but you can only trust the people you buy from so far. Hummm how far is that?

Yo don't need to be level but many things in your RV require the 12 volts to operate. The LP
ignition on the water heater is usually 12 volts as is the thermostat on the AC. The water pump is usually 12 volts but when hooked to shore water, you do not need your water pump, the incoming water pressure is all that you need.

PS...for anyone following our little adventure into the RV worold. We abandoned the 12 volt system, as someone said stop chasing ghosts and buy new batteries so we are. Hoping that is not required to check water heater and water pump. We will be hooked up to the house for power. ******second thought we don't need to be level for the water do we...lol.
