I don't know what you have as far as valves. Plain jane trailers just have water heater bypass valves. Unless your has more, that may be another story. But usually when you have city water you just leave the pump off and use the city water.

I towed double with my 5'er. The laws in Tx says the first trailer has to have a 5th wheel hitch and have brakes.
