We went camping this weekend in our Montana 2980rl (2004). Filled fresh water tank completely and after several days and alot of water usage, the water pressure dropped to almost nothing. Fresh tank level monitor said E, which I expected. We wanted to test how long we could go on one tank for boondocking later. Surprisingly though, when we emptied hot water heater it was nearly full. Also, when we opened fresh water drain, it drained out several gallons. I took precautions to ensure we were level on campsite. Anyone can help with this? It seems the pump stops providing enough pressure when water is low, but not empty? Pump was still running and air bubbles were in the line, which is why I thought tanks were empty. Also, should it pump all water out of hot water heater even if fresh is low?

Thanks,
Derek
