Let me add just a bit of an explanation for any newbies that might read this thread in the future. We were all newbies once!
Beside the two options Richard mentioned - City water ( endless ) and turning the water off ( and I presume the pump too ) there is another way many of us manage the water supply.
It has a couple, maybe slightly hidden advantages and an obvious disadvantage.
You have the option to fill your onboard potable water tank and then turn off city water. Most of our coaches have a very capable onboard 115vac pump capable of supplying all the needs at sufficient pressure to give you that nice shower that feels so good.
Some advantages I see for doing this: Kind of implied in my previous question - you limit the amount of water that can spill into your coach. If you dump your holding tank when you fill ( my practice ) you will never overfill your holding tank. Using the potable tank on a regular basis keeps the water in there fresher. The disadvantage - you need to monitor the level in the tank and refill occasionally. Russ
