Where does the water come from on Jayco mains?
Has anyone found an improvement on the standard Jayco mains water connector ? Mine has turned into a nice water feature, with water coming out of where the hose connects to the van.

Jayco in their wisdom cut corners and do not fit that non-return valve. Rather than waiting for the pump to break down I would suggest you take it upon yourself and correct this poor workmanship. Fit a non-return valve at your convenience rather than have the pump fail an an inconvenient time.

Is there a way to change from city water to city water?
Yes, there’s a lever that we flip from city water to fill, so it changes from filling the tank to city water. But neither setting seems to allow water into the RV. Its a manual switch, flips from pointing horizontally to the right for “normal” (city water) to down (fill).
