Rookie here! Is there an adapter that you can hook your water hose at the RV park to your freshwater tank whereby you can rely on the park's pressure versus using your water pump? At this pont all I am doing is filling the tank up. I would rather use the supply pressure when ever available. Please help!

Well....if I understand your question correctly, you are filling your water holding tank from the water supply at the campground, yes?  Why not just connect the hose to the water supply connection?  I think that will do what you want.

No adapter.  Just hook your hose up to this thing.

The rpod has 2 water systems, access to which are right beside each other on the outside of the pod.  The one you are using apparently, is the onboard water tank system.  You fill it up until it overflows, drive to your campsite, turn on the water pump, and it pumps water from the holding tank to your sink or bathroom.

The other system, is the city water hookup.  No adapter needed, assuming you have a hose with a threaded end.  Just screw the hose into the thing that exists on the side of the pod and turn the water on at the at the campsite hookup.  You're done.  No need to turn the pump on.  This works without water in your potable holding tank and does not use the pump.  It uses the water pressure from the campground water hookup.

There should be a connection labelled "city water"  It by-passes the holding tank.  You should use a pressure adapter when hooking up to city water since its pressure may be way to great for the pod's plumbing.  The adapter is inexpensive and available at Wal-Mart and RV stores and at many campgrounds
