Mine is a 1972 dodge and the fill tube and cap looks like it’s for a gasoline tank, but it leads to a clear plastic water tank, there is another large metal tank in the back . I don’t know what that one is for.

All my past RVs there was just a water tank and a neck and a hose and if you had a full strength hose going into that tank, it would just fill faster that’s just what it was but I have a new RV and I traded it the same as all the rest that I’ve had the last 40 years and no of course not and messed up my water pump so they’ve done something different and whatever it is. I’m just fed up with it. I’m bringing a couple of gallons of water that I can wash my hands in between RV parks and then when I get to the RV park I hook up the water and I just put it on Citi® and it works perfect. Mine no longer has the vent. And the tank leaks out in a few hours so no point in. Filling it

Hi! We have recently purchased a Starcraft Super Lite 212FB that does not have a gravity fill. How do we fill the fresh water tank without a pressurized hose (e.g., if we're set up at a dry campsite and need to refill from a water tote)? Some people suggest various water pumps, but we haven't been able to find any that are actually made to pump water for drinking. Would appreciate your insight!

How do you fill a fresh water tank without hose pressure? (e.g. campgrounds sometimes shutoff the water at campsites due to freezing).

My tank continuously reads empty even though I have been filling it

[antoinefigafetta]

simple but helpful for newbie like me :-D

[Hammer]

What if the water doesn't come out of the over flow vent? Mine just backs out of the main fill port?

[jerryrubio]

From a well water, do I add bleach or vinegar to disinfect after dewinterizing video?

[heathersmith]

Can you tell me where to get that hose attachment?

I've got a 1999 coachmen santara and it doesn't have a freshwater inlet like that in the video just a city inlet. Or am I just not looking in the place?

I have a 2021 cruiser aire when I go fill my fresh water tank no water enters the tank. Its like if you blow into a coffee mug and the mug is sealed around your face. You get no air flow. No water enters the tank. I have to hook up the the trailer to the hitch take it around the block then am able to fill tank. Any suggestions 🤔

Where can one purchase the hose adapter that you're using in this demo?

[Rob-cmjr]

I have not found one video that has stated the diameter of the thread. This is very frustrating.

[acedrawer]

It’d be nice to mention a pressure regulator or water filter.

[shaunkendle]

I fill my tank up this exact way but I get a lot of back pressure and water spews back out of the inlet before the tank is full. Any reason why?

[bighunter]

How do you drain that tank? Black tank or gray? And is that different then if you have a water supply at the campground?

[ktg]

How do you empty the holding water tank if you only use some of it on a trip

[donaella]

Where can I find or using what name, the hose adapter?

[rickyhowell]

What happens when it won’t take water it just keeps coming out

[UnknownIdaho]

Where is your backflow prevention device?!?
