Shore water vs holding tank water

I should know this after RVing all these years, but there you have it. My 2010 Pleasure-Way has typical systems. There is always the option of using holding tank water or shore connection water.

Here's my question: can I leave the fresh water holding tank empty and only use shore water, or will the shore source try to fill the empty tank? If that's not the case, how will using only shore water affect using the water heater, if at all? Thanks.

When connected to 'city water' that is all you need.
It will fill water heater (provided valving is correct ----not bypassed) and supply both COLD and HOT water lines.


OR you can fill fresh water tank and use on-board pump. It will fill water heater and supply both COLD and Hot water lines.

After having a leak during the night while hooked to city water we changed the way we use water.
We fill/top of fresh water tank and us on-board pump....which gets turned off at night or whenever we are away from rig.

We also travel with a full fresh water tank after getting caught with only a few gallons and CG water source went down for 3 days.

Fresh water tank....on-board pump!!!
