Regarding priming the pump, I use the air method as we get into the low 20's at the coldest. but when I am ready to camp again, I hook up the hose to the city water and turn it on, this fills the hot water tank without using the pump to pump 10 gallons. I also add water to the tank. while I have the city water hooked up I run all the faucets(sp) and make sure I get water out each of them. Once I have water (maybe 1/3 fill) in the tank, I unhook the city water and check the water pump at each faucet and toilet. Since this use of the city water adds water to the lines, it takes much less to prime the pump.
My opinion and process, your experiance may very.
