Water, fresh, flush, fill...... manifold
Hooked up a manifold today, had a similar set-up before, but this has more options.
I added a vacuum breaker to the Black tank flush. It now has two vacuum breakers, so I am confident there will be no siphon action.

Ozz - suggest you don't leave the hose connected (put on a quick connect connector)to the black tank flush. I had a similar idea and left everything connected. Without going through the whole story somebody turned on the water to the black tank flush connection (I didn't know it).....needless to say it was not a good night. I now use the quick connect connectors on my city water and my black tank clean out connections and only connect the water to the flush valve when I actually cleaning the tank. Happened once and never will happen again to me!

Here's my black tank flush setup. My adjustable regulator is set at 60 psi so the flush gets that much pressure, if available. Few parks exceed 60 psi anyhow.

Here is my manifold, double shutoff to black tank flush with anti siphon valve. Works great for me. The bottom line is for the sewer solution. Only "house" water is pressure regulated. This allows for full pressure to flusher and SS.

Holey PVC Batman! Nice rig, too bad the space program shut down... I could have seen a second career for you.
All joking aside, a well thought-out set up. and nicely executed.

Jim, unfortunately that's just a gauge. The adjustable regulator is sitting outside and is a bit larger.

Ozz...love that gasket coming into the service area you have there. Looks like the one I had a while ago except mine was blue. I took a large piece of foam and carved it into the right shape with a Ginsu knife and drilled out a hose sized hole in the middle. Works great.

Ozz, I didn't have the city water hooked up when I took the picture. The blue hose is the supply to the sewer solution.

I forgot to mention, it took me 7 minutes to fill the Black tank with the stock supplied sewer flusher, empty tank to full, only using the flusher. This will vary some with each unit and pressure.

Jim, if you let it the flush run for 20 minutes (dump valve closed) instead of that 7 minutes, while you go inside to stay warm, the tank will burst and if you have a mobile service from Olathe replace it in 12 to 22 degree weather while you are in Independence, the bill is a bit on the high side of $1100.

Oh no! funny now, but I know it wasn't then. Ouch!
When I run it, I ask Sue to set the half-time oven timer and don't let me forget. I have added an Egg timer to the reminder routine. We need it to recharge the water softener anyway.
