If I hook up to water at a RV spot, is that water routed differently than if my water tank is the source of water for my shower/sink?

Location: Texas		It bypasses your tank and pump, the hookup provides the pressure.

Awesome!! Thanks.

Do I install anything to keep it from backflowing into the tank/pump or does it have a separate entrance into the water heater?

Location: desert hills, az		I would suggest you get a pressure reducer. It just screws on the hose before the city connection. It can be found at any RV store and is cheap insurance. We were at a location that the city water pressure was too high for the LQ water lines and created quite an expensive mess!

Location: Texas		I'm assuming you're installing one of the standard water hookup things, one place to fill the tank and a place a hose screws in to. I think those have the valve built in to them.... hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, never had to mess with that so I'm not 100% how everything works. You'll have to have a valve somewhere.... just don't know where it is.

Location: Holland, Tx		Yep. I was planning on one of the water fill hatches for both gravity and city hook up all under one door.
