Hook up a dirty (non-potable) hose to it, open your black tank valve, and turn on the hose.
So is it usual that the flush has a different size hose attachment?
And how would I be sure that, that is infact the flush? I would hate to introduce city pressure to something that isn't suppose to be pressurized.
No, not usually. But possible.
If the manufacturer made the black flush a 5/8" adapter, and the main city fill a 3/4" connection, assuming a higher flow rate for your sinks, shower, whatever. And a slower "rinse" rate for the black tank. They may have designed it that way, to keep you from confusing your potable hose with your non-potabe flush hose? Again, who knows?
However, it might also be a second city water connector, with a check valve, that is a smaller size, for a narrower diameter hose. 3/4" versus 5/8"?
Maybe the coach manufacturer wanted to give some flexibility in case you didn't have the correct diameter hose handy.
Ultimately, you could contact the manufacturer and ask, if you're not game to try pressurizing (gently) it first.
