At the risk of asking a stupid question — can the trailer water pump be used to pump some water into the fresh tank? I am planning for my fresh water sanitation in a couple of months and have a solution (Blu Technology) that I want to use and it will be easier to pump it than use the gravity fill. Be gentle with the flames. 😆
 
Not exactly sure what you mean, but basically the answer is yes. I assume you have a port for connecting a hose/sprayer? As an example, you could connect the hose to the port, connect the other end to the city water inlet, creating a circular pump out/pump in process. Or, you could create the same by pumping water out the fresh tank hose and back into the fresh tank using the gravity fill (if you have one). Is that what you were looking for?

My apologies, I did not explain myself clearly enough. I want to use the winterization tube in the forward pass-thru to put about 5 gallons in the fresh tank.
 
You should have a valve to turn at the hook up center for city water or

The winterization tube bypasses the fresh water tank.

To get water to the FWT, you either need to use the gravity fill or the city water inlet. You could use a manual pump to push it into the city water fill with the valve set to tank fill.
 
Yes, Steve explains it and to me it's an oversight on the design of RV's. Personally, I have a portable pump that I use to push bleach through the entire system at the city water inlet in the spring, and push RV anitfreeze through the system in the fall. In my model, using the winterization intake at the pump doesn't get the city water line from the front of the trailer.
