With all your help I've made significant progress on getting my water leaks fixed. So far:
1. New Water heater (tankless) - works great
2. corrected some pex lines and crimped in new brass fittings and copper crimps
3. cleaned up and reinstalled shower drain (leaked)
4. water filler hose infeed to fresh tank (mice chewed?)
5. air escape line back to water filler connection (mice chewed?)
6. fixed outside shower
7. cleaned or replaced all of the aerators.
8. misc.
Now I've got something else and I've got my suspicions and just give me your confirmation or correct my thinking.
From the water pump to the trailer seem to be fine. It seems to hold pressure just fine.
From the water tank to the pump, however, is a different story. I noticed that once in a while I get a hum from the pump and see air bubbles like this:

Then when I turn the water on at any faucet, I get a bunch of air in the lines and the pump has to prime itself again.
At first I thought it was the winterizer valve, but after removing the hose, I don't think so as I think I would see dripping as the air comes in, water escapes.
I think I must have an air leak in the line between the tank and the pump. Replace that line, or do you have knowledge that maybe it's something else?
