Or, if you are really in a hurry you can go to a hardware or big box store, buy a ball valve and the adapters and nipples needed to accept the male fresh water hose(female hose pipe interface) and a male hose fitting to plug into the coach city water supply.
Ball valve on when connected to city water, off when you want to use the on board fresh water.
Just did a 10 day trip and did not have to use the spare!
Bought the parts, the glue and made 2.
Works like a charm and I think I spent about $12.
Seems like a lot of work and extra expense when a ready made hose valve from Walmart works just fine for less:
Metal Hose Shut Off
Even cheaper if you buy one of the plastic valves.
I think you will find that most Walmart stores will not have this item in stock....none within 50 miles of my location.
But you are correct, I am still recovering from the all the extra work to assemble my devices and I am hopeful that I can pay off the $12 in the near future...working closely with the lender as always.
