Fresh Water Siphons - Forest River XLR
When I bought the trailer the fresh water vent hose dropped down out of the underbelly and siphoned out the tank as you drove down the road. It would drop the level by at least 1/3, sometimes more. Ha...

Does anyone know how a vent hose is connected to a fresh water tank? The dealer says its expoxied in. I think part of my problem is the vent hose is inserted too far into the tank as I can hear it when it goes under water. Once under water, the tank pressurizes.
If there was a fitting I could loosen to retract some of it I think I'd be golden....presuming I could reach it.
Good news on the vent valve! Found a short little metal valve that will thread right into the fitting on the side of the trailer. So I could leave it open just a smidge to let in air if desired...or close tight. The whole thing is 1 3/4" long, so only 1 1/4" sticking out once screwed in. Primo!!
Thanks.
