After I "treated" our system with vinegar I removed the screens from the faucets, opened the black & grey tank valves (tanks were clean & empty) and then turned on shore water and all faucets. I reached in wherever I could and "percussion" tapped the water lines wherever I could with the handle of a table knife. I turned on the Shurflo pump long enough to get vinegar thru that supply line.
After letting the shore water run thru everything for an  hour I shut the water off and reinstalled the screens.
Oh, while doing the vinegar treatment I did turn on the water heater and got it up to temp then let it sit overnight.
NO mineral deposits and no vinegar taste or smell in the water now.
Don't let the vinegar solution run onto your lawn. It will kill the grass & vegetation.
Also, open your system drains and tank drain to eliminate all vinegar solution.

OK
trying to attach a picture. It is the unit above the pump that I would like to identify. Roger says it is the Tank fill relay. Just want to be  sure of how things " work". The solenoid is on the drain line. What does it do ?? Thanks

The first picture is the tank fill solenoid valve.  It is controlled by a latching relay for the fill solenoid valve. The second picture is a pressure transducer for your fresh warer tank. It sends a signal to the Javelina system to show tank level.

The first pic. should be on the water line that comes from the other side of the coach.  That is the water fill valve that opens when you push the fill switch.
