Newbie with question about filling the water tank
Hi everyone...been reading these very informative forums for a few weeks now and I have a question I haven't seen answered.
We recently bought a lightweight TT ("sure, your minivan can tow it", said the salesman...mmm, not so much) and have been out a few times, really enjoying it. But we seem to have an issue with getting the water tank completely full. My DH fills it until water spills out from the filler, but the meter inside never reads full, more like 2/3 full. And we run out of water before we think we should...we're frugal and last time we didn't even take a shower over the 3 days, yet ran totally dry.
So my question is: when filling the tank, is there something else that needs to happen? Should the faucets be opened inside the TT, toilet flushed, to bleed out any air in the pipes, or are we using more water than we think and should ignore the meter, or...?
TIA for any answers. These forums have been so educational!
