    Water hookup/fill on RV?

    Anyone seen this type of water hookup/fill on an RV? From what I can find it does not have a gravity fresh water tank fill application. I cannot figure how to get water in the fresh water tank from a 65 gallon tank in the bed of my truck, an electric pump and hose. Tried and no success. Can anyone give me some help or advice?

    Looks like a water hose hookup to me? Does it not fit?

      Looks like the one on the left is you black water tank flush connection.

      My guess is the center one is your fresh water connection. It appears to have a pressure regulator and filter. Maybe the one on the right is your fresh water tank fill. Although mine is on the opposite side and just has an open connection.

        You more than likely have another fresh water fill connection located somewhere else on the trailer. Typically these do not have screw on connections to water hose. In other words you remove cap and put hose in to fill up. The one pictured above with pressure regulator is your city connection for water. Hooked directly to water hose. Your other two are probably sewer tank clean out connections if I was guessing.

          The hookup on the right is the black water tank flush hookup. The tag in between the left and center hookup says "potable water" only. If there is a fill other than this I cannot find it. This is the 5th different RV I have owned but the first like this. It is an extremely well kept and clean 30' Holiday Rambler Aluma-Lite with a slide bumper pull.
          I am baffled!

            The potable water inlet is your fresh water in

                Your on the wrong side of the trailer. How old is this trailer?

                    1999 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite bumper pull with a slide. I have had RV's with fillers on the door side or on the slide out side.

                      Some that hook up like that have a transfer valve to fill up from the same inlet. Good luck!

                        Maybe you can find the documentation here? http://www.holidayrambler.com/rv-owners-manuals

                        Here is the manual for a 2001: http://www.holidayrambler.com/resour...umalite_TT.pdf

                          My friends motorhome would not fill from a tank like your doing. It needed a certain amount of pressure that the pump didn't get to.

                            That manual for the 2001 looks exactly like my 1999 especially in the pictures. Thanks a ton for giving me this info. I had looked over everything I could find on the net and could not find anything close to this. It will help a lot!

                            THANKS

                              UPDATE!


                              After not knowing or figuring out how to get water into my recently purchased Holiday Rambler Aluma-Lite RV, I took it to a friend that owns an RV/Mobile Home repair business and he figured this dang thing out.

                              In the pics, the left fill is for the fresh water tank (yes it has one) via remote hookup and water tank.
                              The center if for hooking to a city, RV park water supply.
                              The right is for the black water clean out.

                              The 2 knobs under the 3 inlets are for an EXTERNAL/OUTSIDE shower hose!

                              It has a fresh water tank and the WHOLE problem was a check valve that was not working, thus not allowing water in or out. This valve was located underneath the sink that was in the water line of the left port hookup. Once the valve was replaced, everything worked like a normal gravity fill on any RV. Took him a while to figure this out as he has never seen the check valve located under the sink.

                              Glad this ordeal is over and I will have hot/cold running water at the lease and not have to "sleep nasty!"
