Inside the wet bay

Referencing your nice work. I see you moved the water pump. I don't really have a better place for it but here's a thought. Several times I have goofed up filing the tank and left the valves in the wrong position and the pump loses prime. It seems it loses prime easily mounted up on the wall of the storage bay, which I'm sure Entegra did for noise reduction. My old Monaco rarely lost prime but it's pump was very low. In fact as low as the lowest part of the tank. If you have options consider doing that.

Yes. One of the improvements I was looking for was to lower the pump as low as I could and shorten the run. It always did take a while to prime the old setup. I could usually burp the pump by cycling the tank fill to allow the air to move easier. With the existing setup that flow was from the pump on the PS of the frame rail to the DS water bay, back to the water filter on the PS, back to the tank suction in the water bay. All the air didn't come out of the lines until I'd fill the tank from city water. In my first sketches, I had the pump sitting on the floor where I now have the softener to flood the suction. I ran out of available space.

Now the pump is about the top of the water tank. The burping loop is about two feet of tubing. My procedure has been to turn the pump on from the water bay. If it doesn't prime quickly, cycling the tank fill valve quickly will get it pumping.
