Yup. But, I don't care - it works ... and well. I did look back there - I take apart every new coach I buy - and while it may be complex, it was well done and doesn't leak. I do know that for those of us who need lots of help (me), I look at the picture, I turn the valves and it all works.
Now, I can't speak to reliability yet, but I can tell you that this system has already gone further than any Anderson system I have owned without requiring maintenance. In fact, I still have a couple of extra Anderson valves in my toolbox (don't leave home without them).
Anyway, I like the system.

I agree. I bypassed mine entirely after chasing down weeping valves on the back. It was painfully slow dripping, only about a quarter size over a day or so in two different spots and it was super annoying to track down. I replaced the connection a few times and finally got sick of dealing with the plastic crap and just cut it out of the loop.

Where does the water filter land in this diagram? I'm wondering which inputs run through the water filter.

Someone correct me. The water pump pulls off the same line as the auxillary fill on this diagram?
Just making sure I'm reading this right.2019 Momentum 395

By "auxiliary fill" I assume you mean the "city water" inlet. If so then yes, the water pump is on the same line as the city water use when filling the water tank. Note: You would not want to have pressurized water supplied to the inlet AND have the pump on. Usually one or the other. There are four common configurations/uses of the valves.
1) 1st diagram "City water". Use city water pressure to supply the fixtures (faucets). Water pump is turned off.
2) 3rd diagram "Sanitize". No water pressure at inlet. Use water pump (turned on) to draw (suck) water into water tank. Typically used to pump a sanitizing solution (bleach) into tank to sterilize. Can also be used to fill water tank from a non-pressurized water source (like a bucket).
3) 4th diagram "Power Fill". Use city water pressure to fill the water tank. Water pump is turned off.
4) 5th diagram "Winterize". No water pressure at inlet. Use water pump (turned on) to draw (suck) anit-freeze into system and distribute to fixtures.
Hope this helps explain the use. Is is really a question of what (city water or the pump) that pushes water through the system.

Thanks! Sounds like all water going into the camper gets filtered then.
