EDIT: The "vacuum breaker" you speak of, is that the back flow preventer? How do you disconnect it? On our Jayco, that thing is connected to the Pex tubing with crimp connectors. If I was to remove it, I'd be staring at two tubing ends. Did you remove it from the tubing and "bridge" the gap somehow?
On my spree, I have 2 pex hoses with female threaded connectors. one goes from the outside hose fitting to the vacuum breaker, and the other goes from the vacuum breaker down through the floor of the bathroom vanity. I can easily unscrew the fittings. That is how I hooked up the outside hose fitting directly to the hose that goes down into the floor, bypassing the vacuum breaker. That is what baffles me. By hooking it up direct, the water should get through unhindered, but this is not the case.
