Or do what I do; use the campground city water ONLY to fill your tank as needed, and use your onboard pump while camping. No chance of overpressure damage, and if an inside line/fitting breaks or starts leaking, you'll know it instantly because your pump will start running.
This is what we do.
Many years ago on our boat (fresh water system is essentially the same), we woke up in the night to a hissing noise. Almost rolled over and went back to sleep. Went looking and one of the fittings had cracked and was spewing water in the bilge. In an RV, it could result in thoroughly soaked plywood floors.
We have to dump the tanks every few days when on full hookup anyway, so no major effort to fill the fresh water while draining the waste tanks.
