Don't ask me why I did this, but it was a dumb thing to do!
I'd been prep'ing the coach for our upcoming trip after approx 6 months in storage. I dumped a bunch of bleach down the gravity feed to the fresh water tank and proceeded to fill the tank using the city water hookup. It occurred to me that I needed to "flush" the bleach down the gravity fill hose, so I grabbed the fresh water "handheld shower head" in the water bay, undid the water connection and shoved the hose into the fresh water fill. After turning on the faucet I realized that the hose connector had a washer inside. On removing the shower head, I saw that the washer was gone
I thought about it overnight as the bleach/chlorine went to work sanitizing the water system. Got up in the morning with an idea; I removed the hose between the gravity fill and the fresh water tank and, sure enough, the washer was trapped in the hose. Phew!
