In my C.C., the fresh water vent is a clear plastic hose which plugs into a small plastic screen very near the water hose connection. My fresh water tank also has some sort of floating, leftoevr from buidling material, in it that causes it to block while filling. While filling the tank, I monitor the air flow from the vent. When it plugs, I need to unhook the vent hose, stick my head in the basement door and blow back into the tank to clear the blockage. This may need to be done several times while filling. Truly a P.I.T.A. but I want to make sure my tank is full before heading to my campsite.

You just need a short 6" piece of hose, to hold against your vent screen, to blow into, to clear the vent.
