City Water Fill Question

[Docsouce]

Dewinterizing today and while I was adding water using the city water fill, thought I heard water draining into the gray water tank. I walked inside to find the water was coming from the bathroom sink faucet that I left open. I shut it off and tried the kitchen faucet and had water being fed to that one too. Is this correct? Now for kicks I changed to city water feed. And it only fed the house plumbing with nothing going into the fresh water tank which is as it should be. So is the city water fill supposed to feed the house plumbing also or is another Jayco Added "feature"!!

From what I understand, your observations are as the system works, at least on my 2 valve system.

Obviously the city fill routes water to the onboard tank, but this setting does NOT shut off flow to the plumbing system. On mine, country fill does the same; allow filling of the tank, yet also powering the plumbing system.

I believe it would require a more sophisticated valve system to fill the tank, yet not have the plumbing system powered.

Yes, that is how it works. Another way to think about the flow is that the house line being pressured by the pump (country fill) or city pressure feeds all of the water outlets such as the sinks, toilet, shower, and also the fill valve (position 1) to the fresh water tank. So when you turn the valve to "1" position then you are opening the house line to the tank.

Thanks this makes sense. I'm trying to learn how all these systems on my RV work so when it comes time to troubleshoot know what is normal and what's not.
Again Thanks for taking the time to explain this.
