Y fitting at city water connection

I was thinking that it would be convenient to have a y fitting at the city water connection to run a second hose outside the travel trailer I use. Would something like this be frowned upon or is it okay? It would be great for filling dog water bowls and filling pots for cooking outside.

    Welcome to the forum.

    It seems pretty common, at least at the few parks I've visited that offer water hook-ups.

    I always had one with a rwgular garden hose connected to it. Wash the dog, hook jp to the black tamk flush, heck I even had a water dish for the critters.

    I do it all the time. One hose goes to the city connection on the TT and the other one hose goes to my on demand water heater.

    I always carry a "Y." I don't always install it, but I have it if I find a need.

    I always use one. It's also handy when disconnecting the hose because you can turn off the main faucet, open the other side of the Y and drain your hose through it.

    I always use one. The campground where I seasonally camp requires a backflow prevention adapter on each connection. They say that this is required by the local county health inspector.

    I use one as well. Water to FW on one side and a water pressure meter on the other
