Ok guys kind of in reguard to a couple previous post (what valves to turn on) and (what are these lines for) I was wondering if its possible my 12v pump goes in between them. I thought my pump was in the tank but looking things over I dont think that is the case. So I guess my next question would be where to find a pump. thanks for all the previous help guys.

Turn the pump on and listen you will hear it running if it installed.

hammerdown is the pump in the tank. I dont hear anything when i turn the switch on but im also hooked up to 120v power and dont have the batteries installed but I figured the inverter would convert to run everything else. If this is not the case let me know I appreciate all your help so far.

I believe your correct in assuming the converter would supply the power to the water pump if present.

The only time I ever heard the water pump in my RVs was when it was on and water was being used some place in the RV. (sink, shower, toliet ...)

Having water in the "Fresh" tank, then turning the pump power on, and opening a faucet should engauge the pump.

Mine is under the kitchen cabinet under the drawers. The pump is a SureFlo or something similar and operates on 12V. When it is switched on, mine is on the wall, it will operate when a faucet is turned on. it operates off of a pressure switch.

Believe it or not, I believe ours is located in a cabinet in the back MstrBdrm. I thought that was weird. But come to think of it, our "Fresh" water tank is at that end too. So is our City water connection.(outside underneath)
This makes the pump accessable for repair or replacement. So I believe ours is a (somewhat) remote location. (not in water tank).

We havent had the need to use the pump since we are parked at a camp resort and have city water. But Im sure curious if it works or not.

Ours is under the Master bed next to the fresh water tank

I have seen a few in the closet, had to tighten one down as it had worked it's way loose. I guess it is close to the tank.
