    Water tank output question

    2016 Rockwood A215HW: I’ve always suspected something was up, as I run out of water way too quickly. Since I have an external grey water tank (jerrican) it is easy to monitor output. Sure enough I kept track this last trip, and I used not even half the tank capacity before my pump starts...
