Another solution, particularly if having a spare fresh water pump is desired:

Mount a fresh water pump on a piece of FG, plastic or even wood.  Install 5' of hose with female hose end on inlet and 5' of hose with male end on outlet.  Wire to cigarette lighter plug with outlet in basement.  Now, just fill through regular inlet-- been there, done that.

Tambour is the style of wood doors that can roll into the cabinet, like on a roll top desk.  Foretravel made use that type of wood/fabric to make doors till the supply ended, in about 1996.  From those years on, Foretravel used raised panel doors.  We love the look of the tambour, like solid wood when the doors are closed.

My Coach is full of Tambour Doors, Love them, I never knew they were called that, Roller doors on their sides, Sliding doors, Etc,

I can be a Snob now, Check out my (TAMBOUR DOORS), Hahahahahaha And point them out with Fluttering fingers, Hahahahahaha,

No taps any where, All the carpet is glued down solidly,
The heater at the front of the bus, The passenger side on yours, Is connected to the Motor at the back of the bus,
But no taps any where in the line I have seen so far,
Its pouring rain here and I am not crawling under the bus in the slop, So it will take a while, I will work on the gas lines instead, I have one fitting to find and install and the gas is up and running, Hopefully,

With the Big gas tank out and the Genny out, The lounge is out too, The front is sitting right up in the air,

Mine is also registered to carry Five people seated, I thought I was going to get stuck with a two seater,

This certainly a good way to learn about my bus, All the suggestions, opens my mind to whats in it,

Keep them coming, Just this thread, Taps, Valves, Hoses, Tanks, Filling, Things I would probably never know they were in it,
Reading the Various threads on here, WOW, has my Bus got that, I go out and look for it, Most cases it has,

This Bus is just Mind Boggling on its contents,

Its the shutoff for the additional water from the engine to the propane hot water heater.  You can turn off the propane part and have hot water after a drive with the valve open.

B2's coach should have a small valve under the kitchen counter that is normally open.

Said another way, if you want some hot water for washing when you stop after a good drive (without having to turn on propane and wait) make sure that valve is opened at least 50%. That will allow heat from engine to warm water AND give you some warm air heating in the cab area. If you only want hot water then open it fully. If you only want hot air up front then close the valve. It does 2 things and very handy.

Thanks..........it all makes sense now.
Ours still has the factor tag on it.
I knew we had hot water after a drive with out the hot water heater on,  but didn't know exactly how we were getting it.
The 'Max Front Heat' sounded like it was for cab heat only (to me).
These Foretravel's keep your brain exercised !!!
Let see ? What's next ?

Ah, So Simple,
Plug the mains water in, Turn the blue tap on the left on, Wait for water to come out the over flow, Turn off blue tap, Disconnect water,

Full fresh water tank,

Sorry Brian,
That was the 'round paper tag' on that water valve under the sink.
The one that sticks through the round hole in the forward wood panel.
No Switch.
