Water pump

I have a 2017 Cardinal that you have to turn valves and use water pressure to fill the fresh water tank. I heard that you can use the house pump in the anti-freeze position to fill your tank from water jugs? Is that true? Thanks Don

Nope. It's not plumbed that way. The outlet side of the pump goes directly to the water heater & faucets.

Contrary to the other poster, yes you can. Set the valves to "sanitize", and drop a hose in your water jug, and it will suck the water from there into the fresh water tank. Hint...turn the water pump switch in the trailer off first, and use the aux switch in the water bay.

While you are doing this, you cannot use water at any fixtures.
