Hi Stephen,
The back of the city water has a ball and spring...what tends to happen is the pipe thread inside the city water cracks if the fitting is screwed in too tightly...In which case David B's comment is a potential concern...
Did you install the unit? If you had it done at a shop we'd like to know so we can talk to them about this...
Our new city water hook up comes with an aluminum band to protect this pipe thread connector from cracking.

Careful of those little leaks out that water inlet.  The moisture gets under the paint where the inlet connects to the camper and causes problems.
