That would only work IF you have a water panel with switches/valving with a 'fill/winterize' position.
This is an example of a water panel that does allow use of pump to suck from a container but it doesn't fill tank....it just pumps thru system without sucking out of fresh water tank.
If you have just a city water connection and you gravity fill fresh water tank it isn't going to work.....physically impossible

After reading the manual I think the confusion is in the 'instructions'
You only have 2 connections on side of rig.
One is for city water and the other is for gravity fill.
Question........is the gravity fill an 'open' port or is it a hose connection?
