City water connection

When we hook up our 2016 262 RGX to city water connection it fills up our freshwater holding tank any ideas?

Check your winterization valve positions.

It's a common problem... reported here weekly. It generally has nothing to do with winterizing valve. It's usually related to the water pump's internal check valve. Read all the posts and external links in this thread ==> http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...nk-193172.html.

Perfect.... thank you. Winterization valve positions fine we’ll just install a bypass valve. Seems like it’s always something. This’ll be an easy fix at least.

ID:	214975sorry saw this one and figured we’d try it.... thought this was bypass. Anyways drained freshwater system and hot water heater completely 2 times and now it’s not filling up the holding tank nor is any water leaking..... I told my husband I’ll only charge him $125 for my services today!

You let him off light.
I prefer an inline check valve (although I haven’t needed one) because it allows water to flow in only one direction so you don’t have to remember to open/close anything. Whatever works best for you.

Well like I said after completing draining the water and air from the system a couple of times it’s working as designed.... keeping fingers crossed it stays that way. Thank you for your help.... much appreciated
