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...

The problem like that on my FW tank is that the fill connection (not gravity feed) and vent are at nearly the same place on the side of the tank. I raised the vent hole where it exits on the side of the trailer to a level above the FW tank by removing the outside shower and extending the vent exit hole to that space. Now it won't siphon out. Previously, the siphon action would happen running down the road. I would fill the tank at home and only have half a tank left when arriving at a campground an hour away.
Many thousands of trailers were built with vent hoses attached at the top corner of the tank and go down towards the road. These hoses would simply spill water out while rounding a curve. Few people know they have a problem even though they arrive at their destination with little water remaining in the tank. BTW, it's not a siphon action, it is simply a spill.
The OP has a different problem. Filling slowly may help. The vent hose should be checked to see if there is any sag or restriction in it.
