Some may say this is basic info, but so many new campers heading out find theses type of videos so helpful. Great video just found this channel.
Thank you!
I've almost watched them all!!
Yet, one of the challenges with this "basic info' is there are so many different systems. For example, in this video, he made no mention of a city water bypass valve. Not properly adjusting the valve could result in serious damage to certain RVs when connecting to city water.
Its so rare to see someone so thorough!!! I love it
OK, this is probably the dumbest question ever but... after you're hooked up do you just leave the water running? Keep on only when you're actively using water? I'm sorry this is such a dumb question. Lol
Not a stupid question. I’m new to this and wondering same thing😂
@np984 camped this wknd for the first 'real' trip. Good times! Lots of written but it went well. :) once you're connected to your faucet, regulator, filter, fresh water hose to the camper, ensure the switch is fully on city water. Turn on the faucet and voila- internal plumping works! Leave it on for the entire time you're hooked up - I turned it off at the faucet when we were not insite though, just in case something crazy happened. Lol. When ready to leave the site, turn off water at the faucet, unplug all your water accessories, and that's it. :)
What I want to know is do you turn the spicket on all the way? Half way? How much?
LOL, was wondering the same thing. Such a newb. 🤦♂️
I use a 45° angle fitting with a shut-off valve on the end before the RV connection... it works well for spraying off things and helps avoid that face-full of water when disconnecting
Thank you Mike! I just bought a trailer and was wondering what to do about these very things I needed to know! 😊Have a wonderful day☀️
Thank you so much! I am taking my rv out for the first time in a campground and this video was so helpful.
That's great! Glad this helped, have fun camping!
Great helpful tips. I'm wanting to know, once I do all those things, do I turn the spicket on all the way?
What about the water filter?
Correct, it's optional. In an effort to keep these videos and short as possible I did not include that step, however for those that are interested it's as simple as attaching it inline. Thanks for watching.
You forgot to hook up the water filter
My dealer told me to put pressure regulator on the RV not at the source.
Great video! You remind me of Adam Carolla. 😄
What about the water filter?? Missing step.
Thanks so much and what about winter use?
How do you use water filter on Potable Water/Tank Fill connection?
Good question. I depends on how your unit is plumbed but generally speaking you would want to filter the water going into the potable water tank. -Mike
I connected my water hose to my RV and it's just not letting water in. Totally weird. There's a watchumcallit inside at connection. Not sure if that has something to do with it. We've been living off the the holding tank... But it does water out. . we keep refilling the holding tank every day. Plz help 😢
What about water filter?? Had it included items needed.
Nice video.
You didn't put the water filter on.😮
i didn’t see him hook up his water filter
Does your city water hookup full the tank?
My 2022 jayco has a "city water connection" on both my city and fresh water. Therefore, I can't just slide my water hose in my fresh water tank, is that normal?
That's interesting - I've noticed that on a few select models, both Jayco and other brands. I assume the reason for that is because the fresh water tank is located where filling it by gravity isn't practical and it therefore a pressurized fill. Appreciate your comments. -Mike
you didnt add the water filter!!
Correct, it's optional. We try to keep these videos as short as possible. Appreciate you watching
@@mikedrudge3871 Was and is an important part.... the extra 30 secs would have made it.
I wanted to know, where it goes. at the faucet or RV
@@Jnraven Hi Nick, you can place the filter anywhere between the water source and the RV - either at the spigot, or at the RV.
@@Jnraven place the filter between the water pressure regulator and the white hose.
What if I don't have a water hose?
maybe fill your storage tanks using a simple funnel
Thanks mike!!!!!!
Um.. you showed a filter but didn’t hook it up
Oops, someone already asked about it, sorry
