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. Pete Masterson '95 Blue Bird Wanderlodge WBDA 42 El Sobrante CA aeonix1@...
