OK, I think the hose in question is the "gravity fill hose" (perhaps among other names) to fill the water tank from what you're calling the fresh water inlet. It should not be kinked.
What I meant by "water filling from the fresh water connection" is water getting into the tank from the (pressure) city water connection. That wasn't the clearest of wording, for sure. All I can say in my defense is that my RV has only a city water connection, with no separate gravity fresh water fill, and the tank is filled by fiddling with valves to direct the city water into it. (Well, technically I could also fill it with the winterize/suction fill port, pumping water into the tank from some external container, but that would be a fairly slow and cumbersome process for a tankful of water.)
