Hi all! Newbie here 
I’m doing a complete rebuild on a 1968 driftwood camper. I’m soon to be stalling the freshwater tank and all the plumbing. From my understanding, traditionally, there are two water intakes on the outside of your camper...one for the tank, and one to the mains. The tank being a gravity fill obviously. So two separate lines. I’ve seen one van conversion where there was one water intake that y’d off on the inside...one line to your tank and the other to the main, with a shut off valve that allowed water to just run to your main... and if you want to fill the tank, just open up the valve. Make sense?
I tried to explain this system to someone at vintage trailer supply, and they didn’t think that was possible or couldn’t comprehend...something about pressure or downstream? I actually couldn’t follow them to well. Does anyone see any problem with this system? I’m not sure what pressure or downstream would have to do with water getting to one or two different places, but i’m Also not a plumber
any help on this would be appreciated...thank you!
