How Do I Hookup My RV To Fresh Water? | RV Quick Tips - Ep. 2 

Thank you!

I've almost watched them all!!

Yet, one of the challenges with this "basic info' is there are so many different systems. For example, in this video, he made no mention of a city water bypass valve. Not properly adjusting the valve could result in serious damage to certain RVs when connecting to city water.

Not a stupid question. I’m new to this and wondering same thing😂

@np984 camped this wknd for the first 'real' trip. Good times! Lots of written but it went well. :) once you're connected to your faucet, regulator, filter, fresh water hose to the camper, ensure the switch is fully on city water. Turn on the faucet and voila- internal plumping works! Leave it on for the entire time you're hooked up - I turned it off at the faucet when we were not insite though, just in case something crazy happened. Lol. When ready to leave the site, turn off water at the faucet, unplug all your water accessories, and that's it. :)

What I want to know is do you turn the spicket on all the way? Half way? How much?

LOL, was wondering the same thing. Such a newb. 🤦‍♂️

That's great! Glad this helped, have fun camping!

Correct, it's optional. In an effort to keep these videos and short as possible I did not include that step, however for those that are interested it's as simple as attaching it inline. Thanks for watching.

Good question. I depends on how your unit is plumbed but generally speaking you would want to filter the water going into the potable water tank. -Mike

That's interesting - I've noticed that on a few select models, both Jayco and other brands. I assume the reason for that is because the fresh water tank is located where filling it by gravity isn't practical and it therefore a pressurized fill. Appreciate your comments. -Mike

maybe fill your storage tanks using a simple funnel

Correct, it's optional. We try to keep these videos as short as possible. Appreciate you watching

@@mikedrudge3871 Was and is an important part.... the extra 30 secs would have made it. I wanted to know, where it goes. at the faucet or RV

@@Jnraven Hi Nick, you can place the filter anywhere between the water source and the RV - either at the spigot, or at the RV.

@@Jnraven place the filter between the water pressure regulator and the white hose.

Oops, someone already asked about it, sorry
