We looked underneath the trailer and we see (3) tanks but they all seemed to be connected to the discharge line?
or are they (2) water tanks and (1) disposal tank? If so, are there back-flow preventers installed to keep them separate? or is one toilet, one tub and one sinks?

Welcome to the forum!
Suggest you put the exact model of your trailer and tow vehicle in the your profile under the 'User CP' link in the upper left. It's very helpful when addressing specific questions.
The port labeled 'Fresh Water' will allow you to directly add water to your on board fresh water tank. You will need to have your water pump on to draw from this source.
The one labeled 'Public Water' is for direct connection of your trailer to a water source....such as a campsite water line, or the outside spigot at your house. This water will not go into your freshwater tank, but instead, will be directly fed to whatever tap you open (sink, shower, etc.). The water pump does not need to be on for this. However, it is important that this flow be controlled through the use of a pressure regulator. Too high a pressure could damage the piping in the RV.
If you see 3 tanks connected to your sewer outlets I'm guessing you have two gray water tanks, one for kitchen, one for bath. The third tank would be your black water (toilet) tank. I believe the fresh water tank should have its own drain, not connected to this system. I'm sure more experienced users will chime in.
