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?
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...
First time and New NoBo 16.2 owner.
Planning our first road trip with enough distance and scheduled in such a way that we need to consider stopping and sleeping overnight (CT to Bar Harbor). We currently weekend at sites with full hookups, and have not yet needed to utilize the fresh water tank...
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...
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...
The T handle of my fresh water drain broke off. I can barely get a grip on it with pliers. Looking for a replacement. where do I order from? I see these 2 on Amazon.

The drain going up and into the tank and surrounding by black "guck" (sealant ?) is loose and leaking. Do I have to remove the black stuff or can I apply an additional sealant? I am a seasonal camper and only need water from this tank, should a problem occur from the well water supply .
Any...
On my trip from hell to Nevada last month I also developed a leak in my fresh water tank. I finally had a sunny day to get under there and take off the black rubber guard to discover the corner of the tank had rubbed on something to the point it developed a hole. the tank is not strapped down...
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...
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sanitize or if you should even sanitize your fresh water tank? I've watched some videos about it and some say use bleach and others say use hydrogen peroxide, but some say peroxide does nothing and bleach will hurt the pump. Any help from someone who...
I have water in my bay whenever I travel I have tried to Identify the the source but have not. I have paper all over and cannot Identify the source I filled the tank to max until the water came out the overflow no leak. It use to be OK when I only filled it to 67% full but not now. It may be...
Should the fresh water tank be drained after every use? Or, how long can the fresh water tank sit. Also how often do you drain the water heater? Thank you!
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...
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...
I have a 2021 Work and Play 21LT.Today I was flushing my 98 Gallon freshwater tank out for the first time. So I filled it up to the top and I had 4 bars on my monitor and I am waiting for water to start coming out of some sort of overflow.which seemed like forever.when some water started leaking...

Bought a 2021 Salem FSX 17BHSK brand new from dealer in February and took it on first trip where we weren't going to have city water hookups. Drove to campground with empty tanks and filled the clean water tank almost full at campground and used most of it during the weekend. Drove home 3-4...
Does anyone know where this is at or located on these units? I have a situation which would involve me traveling a couple hours with the tank full, and I'm trying to determine if I need some special bracing after stumbling across some posts about fresh water tanks falling out...albeit with...
I have a 2020 Forest River park model RV and having trouble with my fresh water tank not working. The tank is full and the pump is running but no water is coming out of the faucets. I used it off and on all winter without any problem. Any advice? Thank you for any help you can offer!
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...
Hey Everyone,
New RV owner here and we're getting ready to head out camping. I was running through things and decided to fill up the fresh water tank today before heading out tomorrow.
However, I am unable to get my fresh water tank to fill! The 19HFS has a standard hose connection on the...
Brand new, first time owner here. We are on a cross country trip with our new Forest River Salem 178BHSKX, and far away from home and our RV dealer.
On day 3, it appears our fresh water tank is bulging and falling out of place under the camper. We are safely parked for the night, but...
