I am running water from a 600 gallon tank to my fifth wheel at the ranch. I need to use the camper pump for pressure so can't use the city water intake. Is there a connection I can use to connect the hose to the "fresh-water intake" so I can use the internal tank and pump?

Does the 600 gallon tank have a pump on it? I think you will just need to fill your tank when water runs low. If the big tank has a pump can it be set up to the city water connection with the exterior pump supplying pressure.

It will be very difficult pulling water 600' from a outside water tank with the rv pump against gravity head. If the outside water tank is upgrade from the pump and you have gravity flow, it may work.
It shouldn't be too difficult to redirect the rv water pump inlet to the city water hose connection on the outside of the rv. Just some basic re plumbing.

Shurflo, www.shurflo.com makes numerous pumps that will work, your campers internal pump is probably an Shurflo. They come is various sizes and can move a pretty large volume of water a good distance. Just depends on how much you want to spend. Good luck.

Can you re-plumb your "City" water connection to the pumps inlet connection???
Thinking a "Tee" & valve that would allow you to fill the internal tank or pull
directly from the external tank ....... Just a thought...
