Filling the Fresh Water Like a Boss
All of my travel trailers have had gravity-filled fresh water tanks, and it's always been a struggle to get the water in them. The fill port is on the side of the camper, so the water has to enter...

This business of sticking a hose down into the tank when the vent pipe is blocked is scary. Fresh water tanks are NOT designed to take pressure, and will burst, usually right around the winterizing drain nipple on the tank.
I would suggest WITH THE INLET CAP OPEN, stick some air pressure (low air pressure) to the vent opening and see if you can clear the blockage. If not, because perhaps a kink has developed which you cannot get to, run a vent hose down the inlet.
