The Gravity Water Fill allows the RV's freshwater tank to be filled using a hose or containers without needing a pressurized source. Water is poured into a fill port that leads directly to the freshwater tank, relying on gravity to move the water. This method is particularly useful in remote locations or campgrounds where a direct, pressurized water connection is not available. It enables RV users to store a significant quantity of water onboard, ensuring that they have an adequate water supply for drinking, cooking, and limited washing purposes while traveling away from city water sources.

The City Water Entry, on the other hand, allows the RV to be connected directly to a pressurized municipal (city) water supply, bypassing the onboard freshwater tank and pump. This connection provides a continuous supply of water at a pressure regulated by the RV's system, enabling a more consistent and reliable water flow similar to that in a residential home. It is particularly advantageous in campgrounds or RV parks that offer hookups for water. When connected to a city water entry, the RV can utilize the external water source for all water needs without depleting the onboard freshwater tank, ensuring a more convenient and extended stay without the need for frequent water refills.
