My Water Hookup Mod
Basically I now can use just one water supply hose to the camper. Flip a lever on the splitter and fresh water is active. Fip another and black water flush is active. Flip another and flush out the sewer hose before storage.
Maybe my favorite part is the hose reel for easy storage and hose retrieval after use. I will prolly go back and use pex instead of the old hose now that the concept has proven itself.

Very nice. Couple questions.
What model camper do you have?
Do you still have easy access behind the water panel?
Do you have a parts list or where did you buy?

We have a 2017 Momentum 328M
All of this is mounted to a piece of outdoor carpet covered plywood prior to mounting on the basement wall. This made it much easier to get things lined up correctly and allowed me to run the screws from the backside of the plywood to hold the reel and splitter in place. Also I had to cut the end off of the supply hose of the reel and replace it with the correct fitting in order to connect the reel to the splitter which is hard to see in the picture. In all it took me a little over an hour to complete, including dealing with various water leaks. Once i got the leaks resolved, it hasnt leaked since after a several thousand miles and about 60 days of use.
Note: We used the 4th feed from the splitter to wash our bike in sturgis last month. It was nice to have the extra connection that can be used as needed.

Street Glider, I wouldn't leave the black rinse hooked up unless it is being used. If the manifold gets hit just right while moving things in the basement and it's not caught it can cause quite the surprise when you go to flush . Not to mention the mess . Chances of it happening are pretty darn slim but better to be safe.
We had a manifold (outside the trailer at the tap) hooked up with the black tank connected until it got turned by incompetent park maintenance people checking to see if the water was on without our knowledge while we were gone..it was not a fun evening when we got home and Gary flushed .
needless to say but..the black never stays connected while not in use any more.Marcy & Gary

Being inside the basement and considering the location, that risk is very, very small. I almost never get inside that area unless I am hooking/unhooking or pulling the dump valves. But hey, I only posted thinking others might like the idea of having a single water hookup and hose storage solution. If it doesn't work for you that's fine too.
What changed for the new GD...
