Filling potable water tank? SOLVED

New to me Coachman (See signature) and I can't find how to tell when the tank is full. Yes I know about the inside gauge that shows levels of all tanks but when outside how do I know when to turn off the water as I don't want to burst a pipe inside?
Also how do I know the water heater is full when I have the bypass in the correct position for getting hot water?
I've been RV'ing half my life but this is the first time I've had a CLOSED system. All others had an overflow. Nothing in the Coachman book about it. Do I crack the sink faucets?
Thanks for understanding.

    My KZ vents at the gravity fill, which is about 12in above the tank. Never noticed any water loss.


    After the episode with my leaks, KZ went back to the gravity fill to eliminate the problem. It is the vents underneath that are the problem.
