Water System Prob w/ 07 MADP
I am having difficulty getting my water system working. All winterized fine last fall. I could fill the water tank today, but nothing appears at the faucets. With a hose connection, tank overflows, but no water at faucets. Pump appears to suck in water through the winterization hose if valve turned that way. With hose water turned off, pump turns on but no water at faucets. Whole house filter cartridge was removed for these checks.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Water system problem
Herboni- check to see if you have an extra shut off valve between the fresh water tank and the water pump - sometimes the manufactures like to 'HIDE' these things - also check the water pump filter if you have one- also do you have a bypass valve that has to be in place of the water filter? - another possibility is contaminants in the fresh tank plugging the outlet to the pump

To RV Mech
Good suggestions. However, even with fresh water connected, I do not get water at the faucets. The valve position doesn't make a difference. The filter housing is in place- I solely removed the cartridge.

In your pump bay "not water bay" follow the water line from fresh water tank and make sure all the valves are turned so valve handle is in line with pipe. One exception the valve for winterizing hose will be closed, valve not in line with pipe.
Your hot water tank will have three valves turned for winterizing you now turn in opposite direction for summer use. You may not be able to see them all but there is a diagram on black plate showing valve setup.
Use a flashlight.
After you have done all this make sure water fill divert valve in water bay is straight up for city water service not turned to left for fresh water tank filling.
WELCOME to the NEWMAR forum and irv2 by the way.

Problem Solved!
The responses made me check the water hose/tank fill valve in more detail. It turns out that the plastic knob was never completely changing the valve to one or the other positions. With a new knob, all is working fine!
Thanks for everyone's help.

007,
If I'm not mistaken a 2007 MADP has a hydronic heating system (i.e.Aqua Hot) which includes hot water. Hence no bypass system because it doesn't have a hot water tank..........

Thanks for that roni, not being a DP owner has its faults sometimes. I think he found his fill divert valve was the problem and he has what was pictured on thread I posted.

007,
You should get yourself a pusher and you won't regret it. Then you'll be right on top of all this stuff too ! 
You would never go back to gas !

Where can I get " just the plastic handle" ? I would like a spare one. On my previous coach, dealer said must order new valve to get the handle. The water fill diverter and drain valve have the same handle.
