What do you think?

My unit has a winterization position on the water control valve. In the winterization position the water pump sucks from the city water inlet. I have stayed in parks where the water pressure was less than desirable. How about connecting to the park water using the winterization position and using the pump to increase pressure? What do you think?

Might work, but why not fill the tank and work off of it all the time?

Not sure about the DRV but on my Challenger when I use the winterization/sanitation position the water pump does not shut off even after pressure has built up in the lines. It is thought the control valve by-passes the water pump's pressure regulator.

I have tried this method but I was wondering what might be the result of long term use pumping somewhat pressurized water.
