Just filled up the water tank for the first time. No leaks from the tank!

Hooked up the 120vac and turned on the water pump. Water comes out all the places it should!

Shower stream is WEAK! On the list.

Wet bay is WET! I can see one dribble out of a valve stem, but I think there is another. I may try to tighten the valve collar. Or maybe even repack it. It's only 28yo, should last another 28 when I turn 90.

Also tested the drain valves for the tank and pump, it dribbles out the pipe through the bottom of RV just like I was expecting.

Next I will fill the gray tank. Then the black.

Twenty-eight years old and only minor issues? That’s great. Be gentle on tightening. Not like me!

A lot of things dribble when they get old.
