My water thank also has a side fill connection, so we never actually get it FULL.
Probably about 90%.....up to about an inch from the top. I never noticed any sloshing, but then, I'm about 30' away in the driver's seat:)
It would have been nice if they had the tank fill from the top, but it is what it is.
With the mfgr 250 miles away, you may want to contact them, and ask:
1.) can they do something about this problem?
2.) How long would they expect that repair to take?
3.) Would you be able to stay in the RV during repairs (if you drive there)?
If they answer with numbers and an affermative response for sleeping in the RV, you may want to just take a mini-vacation to have the work done.
Personally, I'd be content with the water you have....most of us have 50-55 gallon tanks, and probably only hold 45-50 gallons....so you're still carrying more than most. And, do you plan to do a lot of boondocking, or are you going to be going to CGs where you can hook up to water most nights anyway?
Happy Camping:)
