    I have a 2019 Coachmen Chaparral Lite and love the 5th wheel. I am at a loss as to how to fill the fresh water tank from a 5 gallon Jerry can. I had a Jayco trailer before this unit and it had a Gravity feed connection that we would use when doing extended boondocking. The photo below is the...

    Fresh water drain Tee

    On my 2010 1809s, the water supply hose on the fresh water tank, is not on the bottom. It’s approximately 2 inches up the side of the tank, so when the water level gets down to below 1/3 full, it begins sucking air. One recommendation on another post was to cap off the existing supply line...

    2 lines to fresh water tank, which one to use for 4 way valve

    My trailer came with a city water inlet and a fresh water fill inlet. It also has a valve for winterizing (sucking from the bottle instead of the tank). I bought this 4 way valve to simplify things: Everything is pretty straight forward to hook up except I have 2 hoses going to the fresh...

    When arriving at a state campground or ones with no hook-ups, how do people fill their freshwater tanks when they arrive? I do not want to tow my camper with all the weight of a full tank and also dont want to fill it by hand 5 gallons at a time. The campsite we just visited in VT had a fresh...

    Fresh water tank crack

    I have been watching this forum for a couple of years now and have used some of the information available. I had seen several post about the minilite's fresh water falling out. From a picture of one frame that had twisted I noticed that my frame was the same type, so I added support to the tank...

    Fresh water pump AIR LOCK problem

    I have a 2015 Forrest River Blue Ridge 3025RL. The last trip out I had an air lock issue with the pump. I filled the hot water heater up and then the fresh water holding tank first. I then disconnected the fill hose and turned on the water pump and opened the faucets in the bathroom and in the...

    I'm the proud owner of a new 2021Georgetown GT7 36K. Behind the fresh water tank I can see a second tank connected by 2 hoses connected top to top and bottom to bottom. also 2 wires going to it. I would think it would fill by siphoning but it only gets to about 1/4 when the main tank is full...

    Dometic 310 toilet fresh water leak?

    It's hard to describe this in the title but the toilet seems to have a new leak. Previously, the rinse water flowed immediately when stepping on the pedal. Now, it seems like it has to fill up the inner passages before flowing out the rim. I also hear a drip after flushing but don't see a leak...

    Fresh water tank shrunk ?

    Our 5th wheel has a fresh water tank with approx. 52 gal. For some time now only approx. 32 gal can be filled, then the tank overflows. I suspect the tank has contracted. I don't understand why, because the ventilation is fine. Who has an idea how to regain the full capacity of the tank...

    Headed to Pactola Res this weekend. There is water available there, but according to the local Forest Service office, it's not for filling tanks. Additionally, will be looking for a dump station on our way home. Any recommendations there as well? Lastly, will need some firewood. I am sure...

    Fresh Water Overfill

    On my last two trips, the freshwater tank would overfill and flow out the tank vent when connected to city water. The only thing common to both is the water pump. I replaced the valve and diaphragm assembly with the pump in place. That corrected the problem.

    Pumping water in to fresh water tank

    I am trying to do some "dry camping" and want to transport water in to the RV. I've got a 60 gallon "water bag" that I would like to pump water out of in to the 45 gallon fresh water tank.

    2016 MBS Forester 2401W; Fresh water tank filling from city water system

    I noticed water seeping out of the fresh water holding tank fill port. I knew the tank was emptied two days before. I have not moved any valves or performed any maintenance on any part of the water system. I emptied the fresh water tank this morning, and by this afternoon when I checked it, the...

    Pump causing leak at fresh water inlet?

    I just replaced the water pump in my Clipper popup camper. Prior to that I had to replace the fresh water hookup inlet. I ordered what I thought was the right part for the inlet, but now when using the pump, it is shooting water out the fresh water supply hookup. It never did this with the old...

    fresh water tank vent blocked

    We have a Rockwood 2606WS 2019 trailer. When using fresh water the pump quits pumping water from the tank not venting. When we fill fresh water the tank will runover at fill site but the tank is not full. The vent will some times burp out water and the tank will then continue to fill. This was...

    How is fresh water tank attached? 2020 FRwildwood Xlite 24bhxl

    I have a sagging fresh water tank that appears to have (I assume) come off a bracket and is hanging down below the cross member in at least one corner. The straps are secure so I don’t think there’s a danger in it falling out but won’t travel with water to be safe. Does anyone know how these...

    I have a 2020 Palomino Columbus 1492 fifth wheel. When I fill up my fresh water tank sometimes I over fill it. My fifth wheel is level when I do this. I pull it out to the street when we leave for our trip and the water starts coming out of the over flow valve. Not just a little but the...
