We have a 2023 302 VRB. The water intake is a shared connection; handle horizontal is city water, handle vertical is a fresh water fill. Inside the hose connection is a backflow device. The dealer told me that if the backflow device is removed and the water pump is used, the water will pump out of the connection; that is the reason the backflow device is installed. The connection obviously feeds a common line and then splits once it enters the trailer.
The backflow device has a garden hose size intake but the interior side of the device has a very small hole which is probably only 10% of the size of the input hose; significantly reducing water flow and water pressure.
1- Has anyone modified their intake in any fashion so the fresh tank will fill faster? Any thoughts are welcome.
2- I am thinking of removing the backflow device and install a on/off valve on the common line before the lines split (if I have access). I think this would act the same as capping the hose connection. The valve would be open when the handle is aligned on main input line and when turned; it would route the water from the fresh tank into the city water line and be prevented from spewing out the outside connection. Does this make sense to anyone?
Thank you,
