Creative Water fill hose holder

If you are tired of dragging that hose around to the other side and filling up, you may want to try this old mode I did shortly after getting the Vegas. Simple install with a ball valve and some fittings.

Since my fresh tank is on the passenger side, even though inconvenient, it makes sense to put a gravity port on that side. But it wouldn't have been that much more to install a small locking compartment with the city water connection and a two-way valve.

To me, it's small low cost details like that which provide value, and separate the desirable coaches from average ones.

While all those valves are convenient, IMHO, they are just more to leak. My GD trailer had the fancy valves and now my Chateau only uses the outside fills like the OP has. Like them better. IMHO

I did that mod on my ACE several years ago when I installed a water filter. It's quite convenient.
