water input selector valve in Micro Minnie 2018TB?

Hi there – I was just trying to fill the water tank in my new 2021 Micro Minnie 2108TB and, so far as I can tell, this trailer doesn't have any kind of water fill selector valve. I can hook up to and run off of city water but there doesn't seem to be a way to fill the tank from the city water inlet.

Am I missing the location of the selector valve or is a gravity fill the only option on this trailer?

Thanks!

If you have a gravity fill port that is the one to use. Those RVs without gravity fill ports usually have a bypass valve that lets you fill the tank from the city water inlet. The bypass valve lets water on the pressure side bypass the check valve in the water pump so it fills the tank.

Thanks! My previous RV (a motorhome) had both so I was really convinced for a while I was missing the valve. It's also mentioned in the owner's manual, although that manual says it covers all Winnebago towables for 2021...

Easy enough to use the gravity fill, I even had a hose extension nozzle to stick in there.

As DavidM said - you have a gravity fill. And a totally separate city water inlet. And, never the twain shall meet.
