I'm plumbing my campervan and made the following schematic to show the different modes it can operate. Although I'm an experienced DIYer, I've never tackled a plumbing job this complicated and I'd appreciate any advice.

Normal operation using Tank 1 – B, F open
Normal operation using Tank 2 – C, F open
Filling Tank 1 from a water source – A, E open
Filling Tank 2 from a water source – A, D open
Heating Tank 1 by recycling water through heater – B, F, G open
Emptying all tanks – B, C, F, H open

All valves closed unless specified as open

Additional details: Vents, etc... are not included in the diagram. Tanks 1 & 2 are each 100L fresh water tanks located within the van, and the gray water tank is another 100L tank mounted below the van. The heater is a Truma Diesel heater which heats air in the van, but it also heats a 10L water tank within it. Water sources to fill campers typically are pressurized so there's no need to use a pump to fill them. However, I want to be able to draw water from sources like streams as well. By the way, I don't plan to drink any of this water -- it's just for washing and showering -- but instead plan on bottled water for drinking.

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
