Bingo: about that city inlet..................
I never worried about it for 10 years in my motorhome, nor the first year with the Monte. Never had a problem. Last year, I read so much into it here in the forum, I figured I better do it. Mac and I both screwed up, and messed up our inlet valves by doing it wrong. All you need do is remove the filter screen in the inlet fill. You will see the top side of the fill valve, and a small white plastic pin will be visible in the center. Gently depress it and it will release the vacuum holding a bit of water in that line. NOW, MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE WATER PUMP TURNED ON in the coach when you do this, or the back pressure will cause an o-ring in the valve to become disoriented, and water will shoot out at you. Then you would have to remove and disassemble the valve assembly, and reorient the parts of the valve, and reinstall it. (Yes, been there, done that.)
