Flow Control at the Filling Point
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
My Interior Preparation plan included the water tanks and their openings before enclosure. This Camco purchase is the short filling attachment rather than a tank fitting. Valterra's pigtail follows the same general approach, while the manual-pump kit moves water from a container; the source and filling arrangement distinguish the options.

Flow Control
Quarter-turn valve
The 40003 combines a flexible filling tube with a quarter-turn shutoff valve. The valve gives control at the filling end, which is useful when the tap is farther away than the vehicle’s gravity-fill opening. Home Depot’s exact-model page identifies the five-eighths-inch outlet and describes the flow-control arrangement. For a camper-van water kit, the filler serves a different role from a permanent city-water connection: it guides water into a tank opening during filling. The flexible tube, hose connection and valve also need to fit the available space around that opening. My purchase history remains separate from these product details.
Yes. Model 40003 includes a quarter-turn valve for controlling water flow at the filler.

Two Alternatives to Compare
Valterra's quick-fill pigtail follows the same short-hose approach. Its hand-pump kit instead moves water manually through a pump, representing a different filling arrangement when the water source is a container.
