A pressure tank is the right answer and not expensive.
I'm curious what happened to the previous pressure tank - it was not built into the mobile home, so where did it go? It's typically right at the pump.
Agree with Rob&Deryl... Add a pressure tank to the well pump. If there isn't already a little pump house covering the pump, make a simple cover. It doesn't need a lot of protection, no more than the pump itself. Connect the pump to a pressure tank with a pressure switch that shuts pump on/off. Then just connect the RV to the tank outlet as "city water" and forget using the RV's tank & pump. This is an easy and not expensive upgrade. You don't need a big tank - 4 gallons will do the job adequately. A pressure switch is only $25 online and $35 in local stores.Given a well with pump, why would I want to
1) fill my tank
2) run my pump too
