Hi everyone,
We stopped and was hooking up the water and when I turned on the parks water it was leaking at the RV connection. I then took off the screen and pushed in on the backflow preventer and WOW the pressure was unbelievable. I now think there was so much pressure coming out of the rv the park water could not go in. Once the pressure was relieved, reconnected the hose and the park water went in ok. I checked behind and did have a small leak at the pump which again I assume because the pressure was so great. We did travel over a few high passes in ID and OR--could this have created the issue? If so how do I prevent it in the future? When we disconnect should I take off the screen and push in on the back flow preventer??
I do have a regulator and have it set for about 42#.
thanks
