Well... After several hours of running I decided to fill some water into the fresh water tank and try it. No Joy.

The valve was the wrong way! The valve had not been switched from winterize.. I did't think that would mean anything when on Shore water, but I guess it does.

No more air in the lines and Full Joy!

I assumed, and we all know what that means... I will winterize this year and bring it off. That issue is in the books!

+1 Likewise. The water heater is a 6 gallon void. There will be considerable air (like 6 gallons worth) before there is water.

+1 - get it running on city water, purge all the lines. Then move to fresh water tank and using the water pump, the pump takes time to prime.

Rainy day today so setting my computer station in Lily. When it slows a bit I'm working on shore water.
Getting quite a bit of air in the lines. Went out and blew off the safety value on the hot water tank to insure it's full. Spitting air..

I don't have my basic tanks loaded. Curious if required (thinking shouldn't but what the heck do I know??)

Do have the pressure regulator hooked up.. thinking it may be my issue..
Ran back through all my connections.. Looks good and tight (sealed).

Thoughts???
