water connector from hose to rig - hose to PVC

hello, We did our first seasonal this summer and going to continue for a bit and I'm looking to maybe convert over from a water hose to PVC pipe from the water faucet to the water connection in the rig. I'm looking to add dual water filter as well and looking to mount that in the 'basement' area next to the convivence center.

I was wondering if other seasonals have done this and can you post some pics of your setup. Even if not a seasonal, but use something similar. I'm looking to have my setup "clean" looking and running the hose, cable, etc. on the ground, just doesn't do it for me. I like to have my connections hidden if possible.

While in my mind what you're suggesting isn't necessary it is doable. Where is your rig located? Do you have low temps to contend with. Freezing water lines are no fun.

I mounted a water filter in the wet bay since I had enough room. I change the filter once a season.

It's only hooked up during the summer. It's already disconnected from the water lines and drained. Winterizing it this week actually. I was just looking for a "cleaner" setup of all of the connections.

Go to a Plumbing Supply and they should be able to hook you up with the proper adapters to go from Hose fitting to PVC

Mike, If you have your filters in the basement or lower bay you might want to consider installing a water softener after the filters to make it a little more "homey"! I just used 4 ft hoses for mine and not as fancy as what Daryles' posts showed but it works fine and we have soft water now and I can change the water filter (I only have one) easily and refresh the softener about once a month when we have the unit in use during our snowbird time and during the summer when out camping.
