I don’t have your set up, but every spring, coming out of winter, I have a similar issue. After blowing out all the antifreeze from the lines with air, I introduced water into the lines via the shore water inlet, to flush the remaining residue antifreeze out. After I’m confident I have as much antifreeze diluted and purged out, I fill my Fresh water tank. This is where I have a similar issue as you. When I run my pump, the first time it doesn’t always prime. I can tell because the sound of the pump is different than when pumping water. The pump is “Air Bound”. What I do is open all of the faucets, and run the pump On & Off several times, and it usually primes. If it’s being difficult, I lift the antifreeze suction hose and funnel some water into it to flood the pump head. After that it usually catches, and primes. The key for me is to Open all the Faucets to expel trapped air. Good luck
