Port is it possible for you to post a picture/sketch, and elaborate a little?

Clev, this is what i did to my trailer - not for everyone but works for me. This was before the kan-leak was popular.
I started all this because I have two fresh water tanks, one that always left 15 gallons in the tank and had difficulty filling them through the gravity feed, mainly because of vent lines with dips.
I now can take my city water, which runs through a water softener first, which has a pre sediment filter.
Water comes in through the bottom with a slip on Sharkbite
1/4 turn shut off
90 degree connector
One way check valve
Tee to house systems and water out at the bottom of the trailer
Tee to house systems and Black tank flush
1/4 turn in black tank flush
1/4 turn in black tank flush
Behind the wall, one way check valve
(the two 1/4 turns in line allow me to keep that short stretch pressurized all the time.
Below the black 1/4 turn is a 1/4 turn coming from the filtered side of house to fresh water tank fill
The tee going into the wall goes to a dual whole house filter filter, sediment and carbon
The pressure gauges read pre and post filter pressure, with to drains below to drain the gauge lines.
The original winterizing valve is still plumbed in and besides winterizing I can use it to power drain a portable water tote we use when boon docking, to fill the on board fresh water tank.
I use PEX , 1/2" copper pipe and SharkBite fittings.
