If water is coming in, it us coming out somewhere. Check for leak. By pass valves, dump valves should be in normal position.

What trailer? And when you say 'Opening up trailer' did you fully de-winterize it?

There are indeed a lot of 'valves' involved in your end_to_end plumbing system, but it varies depending on your camper.

Please provide more info and I'm sure someone will try to help you figure it out.

Assuming you have water pressure at the city water hookup, only thing I can think is that you have a seized check valve in the city water connection. You might have to remove it or unstick it.

Honestly, if it's not that, I'd be at a loss.


I was going to ask you (actually I did already) - to tells us a bit about how your camper was winterized over the winter. There are a lot of valves involved in properly winterizing / de-winterizing a camper...but I don't think any of those valves really come into play if you aren't even getting any water in side at all.

That's all I've got. Maybe someone else will chime in. Good luck.

So first things first. If you unscrew the hose from the side of trailer and turn on the water are you getting flow (i.e. has the CG actually turned on the water yet?) No flow there and you want to be talking to the CG management, or checking for an additional shutoff valve.

If water is presenting at the end of the hose, you are likely going through a water filter and pressure regulator. Hook these up, and see if you get decent flow. Next up is the back flow preventer which is usually just underneath the screen on city water connection to the side of the camper. Pop off the screen and make sure it is operating. If you push the little button, and there is pressure inside, a but of water will spurt back at you.

If your system has a water control station with two valves (I don't think your model has one), they have to be in the correct position to allow water to flow into the main system. Check your owners manual to understand the required valve positions, they may have been left in the winterize position. If you don't have a water station, disregard this.

I'm sure there may be other things to check, but with most trailers, there isn't much to go wrong once your city water is hooked up, aside from leaks.

Dumb question but did you stick the hose in the right hole?
On my trailer there is the fresh water fill hole, the black tank flush hole and the city water supply line hole.

Make sure the winterization valves are in their proper positions.


Handle perpendicular with the water line = closed
Handle parallel with the water line = open
