This is my first time hooking up at a CG. I boondocked at my farm for about a week, no problems.
I'll explain what happened, and please tell me if I broke anything.
When I looked at the water panel outside where you hook up the hoses, I saw a place to connect my water hose, it had a black cap, but the water hose screwed right in to it. No water in the coach. I could hear the water running through the hose though. I hooked up the sewage hose, then went inside.
Back in the coach reading the manuals, I could hear a gergaling sound in the bath room. Investigating, I lifted the lid, and it was bubbling. I thought to my self, self, if I push the flush valve it will open and I can see what's happening. I don't suggest this idea.
When I stepped on the flusher, it didn't take but a fraction of a second for me to realize my error. It was like a fecal fountain. I quickly got my foot off of it and went outside to open the black water valve, it gushed out, one could hear and feel the wooshing through the hose. Undaunted, I came back in and went back to the book, it didn't show the spigot I hooked it up to but one coming down from the top at a slant. About that time I hear more gergaling so I opened up the black water valve again and more wooshing. I checked the sinks, and shower, no water. So I went back outside, got on my knees and saw another spigot to hook it up to, this one had a white cap on it. I hooked it up and now have water where it should be, no more noises from the toilet. I washed the bathroom up with pine saw, now everything smells like a pine tree, and inside, everything appears to be working fine.
My question, is there supposed to be a connection to put water into my black water tank, and did I break anything? When I unhooked the water hose from it there was some water that came out for about 10 seconds or so. I don't see anything about this in the book, and I've read the entire plumbing section. No one else at this CG has a connection like this on their unit. Everything appears to work as it should inside the coach now.
Thanks.
Steve
