City Water Connection issue on 2005
The little valve on the city water connection fell apart this morning. I must have been having flow problems for several days because the water flow inside the trailer was very slow. My question once the water flows past the check valve at the city water connection is there any other valve that could obstruct water flow to the faucets? We are in the middle of a trip right now and the way we are using water was to buy a screw in plug for the city hose connection to block it off and use the pump with the fresh water tank. We will be hitting a Camping World in Northern Michigan to replace the entire hatch assembly.
Thanks

Your faucets and shower head probably have little screens in them that need to be cleaned from time to time and both probably also have flow restrictors on them that could be removed.

Thanks DQDick but I have plenty of flow to everything using the pump and fresh water tank. So I don't think the little screens are a problem

I had a similar problem but it was preceded by a noise out of the check valve whenever we were using water. Finally the flow got real weak. Built in to the back of the city water fill is a check valve. The o-ring in the check valve got cocked on the output side and restricted water flow. Took the water supply center off, disconnected the three hoses and replaced the o-ring. I think it was 1/16X5/16X7/16 but you can take the old one to a hardware store and get a close match. Jim
