Friends,
As a newbie I saw the switch for the water pump in the wet bay. Do I need to have this on all the time when I am at the camp site to provide constant water pressure even though I am hooked up to the water supply system and have an in-line filter and pressure regulator set at 40 lbs?
Will the pressure from the city water connection be enough to provide the proper pressure through the system?

Again, thanks in advance!!
 
Being hooked up to the campground spigot should be all you need, no pump necessary. As a matter of fact, when you have your wet bay valves aligned to use external water, the pump is isolated from the tank/system. So leave the pump switch "off" when hooked up to water.

I have my regulator set to 50 psi to provide a better shower, but (unfortunately) in many campgrounds you only have 40 -45 psi coming in anyway.
 
The switch in our Alante is a three way. One at control panel and one at the water controls. Either turns on or off.
 
Once again, most excellent information!! I kinda thought the pump was just for when you were not hooked up to a city water connection.

All the very best,
Brian
