In the wet bay of my Bounder, I have a lever that allows for me to fill my FW tank with the city water connection, or just use city water at pressure.
My water pump does not run (I switch the pump off) if I use the city water position.
When I fill my FW tank from the wet bay connection, I can observe my water tank filling from the center bay, and when full, it will overflow and dump the excess water underneath the motorhome. I don't think I have ever filled my water tank from the filler opening on the side of the coach.
I also don't filter my water anymore, since I was going thru many filter cartridges a year. My whole coach filter body is just a straight flow thru now. We only use campground water to flush and take showers.
I do not use my ice maker, usually just buy a bag of ice. That way I know I'm getting good clean ice.
We take water for the dogs, since I want them to drink house water and not get sick from drinking out of area water.
When traveling we rarely hook up to campground water for an overnight or even two night stay. We just use water from the FW tank.
