Fresh water tank fill problem
I have a new 2015 Heritage Glen 282rk, my fresh water tank is 52gal. cap. I can only get about 25 gal in it before I start having water come out the vent, I have blown back through vent, to make sure...

Fill the tank much slower. This is a common problem. The only solution is to take the time and fill slower.
Edit:
What's happening is, the water is entering too fast, causing a vapor (air) lock. One of 2 ways to over come this. When it starts to flow back up out the fill hole, wait a few minutes for the water to clear and then continue filling.

Fill the tank much slower, so there is always air coming back out the fill hole. I have found my vent is pretty much useless. I don't know why, but when filling slower, I don't have that problem. Like you, I tried blowing out the vent with my air compressor. It's clear. But simply slowing the water flow down when filling is the easiest solution.
