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.
