    Filling fresh water tank

    So this is gonna sound dumb but how do I fill fresh water tank on 2017 3825FL? I’m assuming turn control valves to dry camp and add water through city connection?

    Do I have 2 Fresh Water fills?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question. I just got my Rockwood 8291RK -our first fifth wheel and by far the nicest trailer we've ever owned- delivered last week from another state. Because of that, we never got to do a real walk-through. I store it away from home, but I've been taking lots of pictures...

    I have a 2020 Rockwood mini lite 2511s. How does my fresh water tank all of a sudden register 2 out of 4 bars full of water when I have never put water in it? I pulled the lever to drain it and there is no smell or discoloration as if it was coming from the gray or black tank. I have been...

    Add new larger Fresh water tank drain

    My Forester has a small pex hose draining the water and it takes forever. Obviously, adding another outlet to the tank is not an optiion. Has anyone tried putting a "Y" at the base of the filler tube and added a ball valve? I think that hose is 1" and would surely drain the tank in no time...

    Fresh water sanitizing after blowout

    Recently purchased a 'previously enjoyed' 2019 Freedom Express 287BHDS. The previous owner winterized it by blowing out the lines with air (I've always used the pink stuff). We're getting ready for our maiden voyage in the new one and had a question: With an air blow-out, is it necessary to...

    Forest River has fixed fresh water tank volume in specs!!!

    One thing that has annoyed me since shopping for my RV in 2018: The deceptive numbers in the official Forest River specs, when it comes to fresh water capacity. I was just looking at specs on other trailers for when I get 5-foot-itis (as you all know, wishing you had a trailer just 5 feet...

    Repair Fresh Water Tank

    So I found the reason my water tank was leaking. The fill tube flange attached to the tank itself had a crack on the rear side. This was due to the tank partially coming out the rear support and putting the flange on an angle, ripping it. No wonder the previous owners only "filled it...

    Fresh Water Tanks falling out

    I am the owner of a 2021 Vibe 21BH that I purchase in April of 2020. I have only had it out 2 time in 2020 (Covid). Those 2 trips last year were short, single destination trips, one 2 hours one way and one 1.5 hours. So I have not really used it as I would have normally (pre-Covid) and the...
