1. The city water connection attaches to the pressure side of the water system, like the output of the pump. Generally you just have to hook it up and you have water; no additional valves to open or close, no need to turn on the pump or fill the tank.

Not all rigs are created equal, on mine I have a manual valve within a few inches of my pump that I have to close when on city water.

How do I know if I have this?

There's no need to change any valves on your MicroLite 23LB. Just attach the city water to the spot labeled for it, and turn on the spigot. (Good advice about adding a pressure regulator in your hose hookup, however.)

Do you have one of those white hoses that are designed for potable water? If not, you can pick one up at WalMart or some such place. They'll also have the pressure regulators. These just screw onto the female end of the hose and onto the campground's water spigot. Just don't forget about it and leave it attached to the spigot when you move out.

Also - regarding the comments about an inline water filter - you already have that, installed by the factory. The disposable cartridge in it needs to be replaced annually, however.
