Remove the screen from your city water inlet, on the outside of the trailer (usually left/non-door side). You will see a little button in the center of the inlet. That's the spring-biased one-way...

That might help. I use a light coating of silicone lubricant on all seals, as it won't degrade the rubber. I wipe down the slide seals a couple times a year with a light coat, as well.

I'm not sure - because I have no schematic in front of me - but if you somehow routed that brake wire differently, you may have no emergency brakes in the event of a disconnect. OR worse - you could...

Not sure why you say this - and would be a nightmare to try to accomplish, for no good reason. The brakes should not be engaged when parked. They only need power when you want to engage the brakes...
