City water

[Dean The ResourcefulNorse]

In my Humble opinion, which is based on probably 1M miles of RV ing, and
hundreds of hours as a 100 ton Captain being aboard boats, I would never
hook up to City water. No reason, no need, if your on board water system
works. If it doesn't, fix it.

When you do hook up, nothing but potential trouble.

Way less miles than Dean but I agree 100%

Fill the tank with the campsite city water. Turn the pump off when you aren't in the coach or at bedtime. You'll never come home to a lake this
way.

Things can leak….

What is almost as bad and more likely is a faucet not shut off tight and it filling up the already small black tank.

Could not agree more. In the 23+ years and well over 100,000 miles of owning "The Motorhome", I've only hooked up twice to city water and both times
we had a leak. Never could find the leak and never could find a reason to hook up to city water. Part of that is that we dry camp every chance we
get.

We also we never hook up to campground sewer except to dump when needed with our 1" macerater hose. Why bother getting the "slinky" out with the mess
that entails.

Just what we have done for almost a quarter of a century.

I prefer only to hook up to city water if I'm going to be camped for few
days.
I do have the pressure regulator in my system.
