Quick Connect For City Water

My DW talked me into getting a quick connect for our city water hose. But then I realized you can't connect the hose ends together to prevent contamination. Couldn't find a cap/plug either.

So, have a nice brand new, never installed, as new, male & female brass quick connect taking up space in our bits and pieces drawer - make us an offer. :BW

I have quick connects for all hoses (which is getting to feel like I have a million of them or so!).

I also use elbows for each water connection at the camper.

But you do have to continually keep fresh tank full and you are putting more wear and tear on your pump and converter.Running off tank requires more effort with little to no benefit in return
Nothing wrong with your approach, but I see no advantage to your method.

RV diaphragm pumps...run dry w/o damage cause diaphragm only moves 1/8"
Easy to turn on/off....just a flip of the switch
If leak develops pump lets you know...burrrup
Takes maybe 10 minutes to fill/top off tank
Water pressure is constant/steady....same regardless of where you go
Wear/tear on converter :H


City water....
Best to always use a regulator cause you just never know
Pressure can/does fluctuate
Leaks can go on undetected until major damage done
Have to turn off at spigot/or some shut off


After $6000 damages due to leak while on city water....benefit to using fresh water tank ALL the time is priceless.

Fred (RV101 with Fred) uses them on both ends of his hoses. I don't at this time, have in the past but leaks bother me and unlike Fred I've not yet found one that does not leak.

Yep. We use the gator cam lock connectors from Tractor Supply. TSC Gator
