Control city water supply with 12v water valve

When we leave our RV at a FHU campground to go sightseeing, shopping, etc., I try to remember to turn off the city water supply at the pedestal. To make this process a little simpler, I am considering plumbing a normally closed 12v solenoid water valve in the wet bay to turn on and off the city water supply controlled by an illuminated toggle switch located by the entrance door. I found one mention of installing a 12v water valve on another RV forum but can't find if anyone has done this. Any thoughts on the up-side or down-side of this idea.
