   Just connect a white hose from the camp sites water faucet to your city water. Then turn on your faucet and you should be all set. You dont use your pump or potable water tank.Just make sure if you hot water tank is not full make sure the water heater is off (outside button or circuit breaker) until it the tank is  full ( 6 gallons) or you will blow the heater element.

	Connect a white hose from the water source and attach it to you trailer. No need to use your pump if I remember correctly as the water pressure from the water source will do the job. You may want to invest in a water pressure regulator to make sure pressure is not too big for you trailer plumbing and an inline water filter. You should be able to find both at RV isle at your local Walmart. I would also put some water in the tank as backup in case your water source is no good, or in case your camping spot has a broken faucet. At least then you can do some cooking and also flush the toilet. freezingalaskan

	Hello. We have a basic (maybe dumb) question about water pump & tank use. We've never had city water in the campsites we've frequented in our short life as Podders. We'll have this service at our next outing and have realized that we're not sure of how to use the service on our 2014 178. When you're connected to city water, do you have to turn on the water pump? Should you put fresh water into the tank as well? Thanks in advance for any help. Need some help with the baics I guess. PJ
