    Brand new TT fresh water gauge shows 3/4 full

    My brand new TT fresh water gauge shows 3/4 full and I have the drain valve open. And it’s empty. Do I have a faulty gauge? Or could it be dirty from the factory. Heck, we haven’t even taken it on its maiden voyage yet!

    Fresh water tank filling from city water.

    Water is overflowing from the fresh water tank inlet. We never use the fresh water tank and always connect to city water. A camp neighbor believes there is a bad check valve somewhere. Thoughts? 2017 Flagstaff 23IKSS. Thanks. Ron

    Fresh Water Drain

    I just traded in my toy hauler for a Coachmen Chaparral 30RLS, and cannot find the fresh water drain anywhere. I found the low point drains, and the black and 2 gray pull handles. Does anyone else have a clue as to their whereabouts ?

    Fresh water tank question.

    First 5th wheel. Had horse trailers before with living quarters. My question is will the fresh water tank automatically refill when you are connected to city water. In all the horse trailers we had it did not. We bought our 5th wheel May of last year. Filled the fresh water tank right after...

    Filling the Fresh Water Tank Mod

    On my rig I use a cheap Camco hose-end insert to fill my fresh water tank. But I've always had to stand there and hold the hose or else the water pressure would spit the the thing out...or turn the water level down so it takes 30 minutes. Once upon a time I had to buy a Harbor Freight suction...

    Hi All, This is a question for you veteran campers: I am preparing to pull my fifth wheel this coming weekend. I figured it would be a good idea to sterilize my fresh water tank.

    Fresh water fill hack?

    With recent fresh water fills using the Nautilus water management system on my 8299SB, the inaccurate water level display inside has caused me to stop filling short of a fill tank. Nautilus has dire warnings of overfilling damaging the system. There is a second gravity fill port at the back of...

    Fresh Water Tank Leak After Accident

    Our 2015 Sunseeker 2860DS was T-boned on the front passenger side the Friday of Memorial Day weekend; the impact dislodged the water line coming out of the fresh water tank, as water had saturated the bedroom carpet, and moved into the outside kitchen area. The wheel, tire, and independent...

    Filling fresh water tank and syphoning problem

    I have read multiple posts on this subject and have come to the conclusion that due to different circumstances there is no absolute answers. Some people say that if the vent line comes from the top of the fresh water tank it is impossible for syphoning to happen. Any one who has ever used an...

    2019 Isata 3 Precision Plex system does not show fresh water level (reads empty) even after a fresh fill to the point that the overflow was active. Both the outside and inside monitors as well as the iPhone App all read empty for fresh water level. I've re-booted the Plex system without a...

    First trip coming up with our Rockwood A122S and were former campers so we are used to roughing it, but what do you do if the campground does not have a fill station. When I picked up my camper I was told not to fill the fresh water tank up at home and travel with it. Is that normal? I...

    Possible to install larger fresh water tank?

    Hi there. My husband and I are looking to purchase a very gently used 2020 XLR Hyperlite 2715. However, as we will be doing a good amount of dry camping with our kids, we really need to make sure that the camper can accommodate a 100 gal fresh water tank. The one we are looking at currently has...

    We have a 2019 2906RS and at a park so I have the city water hooked up but my wife noticed water coming out of the fresh water fill so pulled the cap and it’s full. I only put about 10 gallons in it for a night at a Harvest Host. Any ideas why this would happen. Thanks

    Fresh Water tank material

    I have a hole in my fresh water tank from a screw rubbing into it. I am going to plastic weld it but I don't know if the tanks are made from HDPV or LDPV? I need to use the right welding rod for the patch. Anyone know what mine would be made of? It is a 2018 Sunseeker 2400w
