City Water Filling Fresh Water Tank
I got my camper out of storage today and de-winterized it. When I hook the water hose to the inlet valve and turn the valve to the city side it will allow water to by-pass and go into my fresh water ...

Follow up on my city tank being filled....
I purchased a rebuild kit for my pump and replaced the parts and that did not fix my city tank being filled.
Turns out my inlet valve is the issue. I have not taken it out, but I suspect that it did not get winterized last fall and it may have froze and split. I had an issue with this area the last year with some elbows that come out of the valve. This year I removed the hoses, but I wonder if water was still in the valve. Since I don't dump my antifreeze into my fresh water tank and pump it from the tank no antifreeze is getting into the valve.
I now will remove the 3 way valve and put in a fill valve for fresh water and a city valve for city hook up. Thus eliminating the 3 way valve all together.
Before running out and purchase a rebuild kit for the pump, make sure you have checked all other possibilities.
Enjoy your summer and don't sweat the small stuff.
