Most RV fresh water tanks have to be gravity or hand pump fed and cannot be filled using an electric pump. That is because they are designed as a low pressure application.
You can either take the hose straight to the water inlet or you can use a hand pump like the Valterra Antifreeze Hand Pump with City Water Connection Hose for RV Winterizing # P23507VP. While this pump is meant for winterizing your RV, it could be used for water to transfer water from a container to your fresh water tank. view full answer...
RV Fresh-Water Fill Spout # CAM37102 is a replacement spout that is designed for fresh water input from a hose. But you are right that it does not thread in. This is the case with all of the replacement fresh water spouts we carry. The hose would have to be held in with friction or be physically held by hand.
For sewer hose with swivel fittings and 4 in 1 adapter (depending on what the dump station requires) you can use # CAM39761. view full answer...
When Should you Sanitize Your RV Water System
Do you notice a stale odor when using your water from the fresh water system? It usually occurs when water was left in the system for quite some time. It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
Has your RV been sitting for a month or more and the RV water system has not been used? It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
Have you filled your water tank then been informed that there is a boil water advisory? It is time to sanitize... view full answer...
The HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump part # P25201 is not designed to attach directly to a garden hose but rather a hose with blunt cut end. If you prefer a threaded connection then you would want to use the Valterra RV Pump Kit part # P23512PB but as far as any adapter goes we do not offer this though I am sure one could be obtained locally at a home improvement store.
If you were to cut off the female end of the Camco RV Drinking Water Hose part # CAM22733 you could then attach this directly... view full answer...

The most common way is to use bleach on fresh water tank, about 1/4 cup per 15 gallons and dump into an open container after flushing the system. If you have one of those kids pools, that would be perfect. Bleach rapidly degrades in the presence of light and when mixed with water. Let waste water set for 72 hours minimum in bright sun and the bleach will most likely be dissipated to the point that you can safely dispose of it on your lawn. Pour a portion on a section of lawn to test,... view full answer...

To replace your Shurflo 2088-422-174 fresh water pump, I recommend the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump # LC689052 instead of the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump # P25201 because the Flow Max will draw a maximum of 8 amps, as opposed to the 10 amps of the HydroMax, and the Flow Max also has a higher flow of 3.3 gallons per minute compared to the 3 gallons of the HydroMax. It does have a little less pressure at 45 psi compared to the HydroMax's 55 psi, however.
That said, you can certainly use... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Camco regarding the RV and Marine Premium Water Filter # CAM40631 referenced in your question. He stated that you can absolutely use this filter for your specific application. You will have no issue using this to filter the water in your on board fresh water tank via a foot operated pump.
The premium spun polypropylene filter will clean the water using 3 media and the replaceable filter cartridge is good for a full camping season. The filter housing, 12 inch... view full answer...
It sounds like your system needs a backflow preventer like the Camco RV Fresh Water System Backflow Preventer - 1/2" Diameter - Brass # CAM23303. This allows water to flow only in one direction so that your fresh water tank doesn't fill up from water backfilling into it from your city water connection.
If your connection requires a double male pipe thread connector then # P23415LFVP will serve you well. view full answer...
Yes, the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump # P25201 that you referenced will replace the pump you sent in a picture of. They are very similarly rated right at 3 gallons per minute. view full answer...
For your 2022 Thor Windsport, I recommend going with the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3.0 Gallons Per Minute # LC689052.
Typically when you're looking for a fresh water pump for your RV you're going to want to choose one that has between 40 and 70 PSI to optimize water flow, so with this being a 50 PSI unit you'll be right around the middle of the spectrum which is perfect.
Anything over 70 PSI you can risk bursting your pipes, and anything below 40 PSI you'll likely not have... view full answer...

The Camco TastePure Drinking Water Freshener # CAM40206 is designed to prevent any algae or slime buildup in your fresh-water tank while also working to remove bad taste or odors. It will essentially help to keep the tank clean so it doesn't affect your water but it's not going to sanitize/purify the water itself.
For this you will want something like the Camco RV and Marine Premium Water Filter # CAM40631 that will purify water as it moves through the filter before entering your tap... view full answer...
