In my 77 coach there is an indicator light that shows the pump is switched on. That light would consume some power even when the pump isn't running. When the pump isn't running the pump itself consumes no power.

When hooked up to water I turn the pump off. When not hooked up to water but with power (either gen or from the post) I leave the pump on except when not in the coach. When not hooked up to water or power I turn the pump on only as needed.

It just occurred to me that I turn the pump off when I leave the coach so that a leak doesn't flood the coach, but I don't turn off the supply if I'm hooked up. That makes no sense at all since the volume of water available when hooked up is limitless. Flood the coach? Heck I could flood the whole park. Now I have to decide if I'm going to either stop shutting off the pump or start shutting off the supply when I leave for the day. I like to be consistent (well at least most of the time)
