Good afternoon
I have a 2021 rpod that has an external grill and next to it is a brass quick connect that is to be used for rinsing things down. The fitting is brass and similar to the hose snap coupler on a high pressure washer hose. I can't get it to snap in place. Any ideas, grease, steel wool to burnish the male part of the coupler, etc?
Thanks for any ideas.

Try putting the point of a screwdriver in there and tapping it with the palm of your hand to break it loose.

I always thought that was the LP feed for a grill. I dont have a coiled water line on my 2017.  Guess i need a picture.

There is an LP connection in addition to the water connection. I would rather have an outdoor shower but thats what it has..
The trailer is at the storage lot or I would have a picture. In the future I will take a picture of all four sides for reference.

The outdoor high pressure water connection was added in the 2019 (or 2020) model year.

And yes, sticking a screwdriver in it is the fix.

Thanks for the UTube, it explains exactly how to fix it, most likely being new it is airlocked.

Personally, I've never used the shower and would not miss it. I would likely have more use for a spray port like yours instead. The only times it gets turned on are for winterizing and de-winterizing.
