Water pump
It would be convenient if my coach was plumbed in a similar fashion
-- but it isn't. The pipe from the pump disappears behind a bulkhead
in the basement without any valves or manifold. I suspect that your
coach uses PEX tubing -- which works best when each 'run' goes
directly to the intended outlet without connectors in between -- as a
result, manifold distribution systems are commonly used with PEX. I
have polycarbonate plumbing (no longer used due to serious problems
encountered in home/mobile home installations). It is plumbed in the
same manner as older plumbing systems with various connections and
branching lines.

I do have a cut off valve for the toilet located in the floor of the
closet in the bathroom. I'll experiment with adjusting it to see if
that will do the trick. I was going to insert a pressure limiter in
that line (when I get to it, but there are so many other projects
with higher priority). Making a small adjustment to the valve may be
sufficient for now...

Thanks for the idea.
