When at Eastern States, I was talking about the pump by-pass to fill the potable tank from city water and you made the comment that you did yours with a solenoid valve and a level contact level sensor to shut it off. (Unless I misunderstood.)
I have an addition to your good idea.
I frequently load the potable tank to half just because I don't want to carry the weight (~170#) of the extra water. Well, you could do that even more easily than I can with just another set of switch selected contacts in the side of the tank.
While I like the idea, I don't happen to have a solenoid valve or a contact level detector lying around. I would want it to be 12VDC as I have frequently taken on water with no AC power handy.
