Roo 21SS City Water Input

Just purchased a used 2013 21SS. The "owner's manual" doesn't seem to have a lot of specific info, so I'm figuring things out. My previous camper was a pop-up so this is a whole new world for the most part! One thing that has me puzzled - the Roo appears to have two city water inputs. I looked inside the compartment next to it & both lines seem to go to the same place....eventually. So what's the difference? Why are there two? Which one should I use? All hints gratefully accepted!

I have a 2008, don't know about yours. Mine has city water connection on the slide side( labeled as such). On the door side is one where you fill your fresh water tank.

you should only have a city water inlet, that screws onto the end of a hose and the FW tank fill inlet, which doesn't thread into a hose.

newer Roos have a winterizing inlet but i don't know much about them, since mine is older and i don't have to winterize living in California.

pics are always more helpful.

Is it possible that the second one is a black water flush ?

This is a normal fresh water / city water connection .

My black tank flush is exactly the same as the city water connection on the right.
My black tank flush isn't pictured but right above these out of view.

It's not the connection for the fresh water tank - that's below the two inlets. The second may be a winterizing inlet - there's a sticker below one of them that says something about antifreeze or winterizing. But they're identical in appearance & the hoses seem to go to the same place - just by different routes. I'll try to take a picture & post. Thanks!

I bet it is a winterizing inlet then.

It's just like mine, by the sounds of it. There should be a diverter valve inside by the water pump inlet. Screw a hose into it and run the other end into a jug of antifreeze then run the pump.
