I just bought a 2022 Imagine 17MKE. I would like to know how others have connected the hose to inlet to the universal docking station. I got an elbow to try to get it away from handles for spray port. Wondering how others have resolved this problem Thanks in advance

Couple of unsolicited tips....
Don't leave the brass elbow connected to inlet. I used to leave mine connected, but I think it permanently compressed the washer and it started to leak. Maybe the washer was just getting old though. Either way, I just disconnect it now.
When disconnecting the water hose, turn off the supply, disconnect at the source spigot first and let the hose lie lower than the elbow. Then start to disconnect the hose or elbow at the inlet port, and that will allow the water to flow back, and not drop into the dock area.2019 Imagine 2400BH

My unsolicited tip... always use your own brass fitting (elbow, pressure reducer/regulator, etc.) at the dock station inlet when using park "communal" hoses at fill stations. The communal hose fittings are always messed up and will destroy the integrity of the plastic threads of the dock inlet. (Same goes for the black tank flush inlet.) Asked me how I know... first project when trailer comes out of storage is to replace the dock inlet connection.

I use a brass 45 to put less strain on the hose but still give it a bit of clearance away from the convenience center.
