Newbie here, so I will start with a hello to all.Not only am I a newbie to this forum I am also a newbie to the travel trailer world. I was handed the keys to a 2000, 30 ft fleetwood mallard. I have been giving it a little TLC since it had been sitting in one spot for 8 years and utilized only during the winter months and used solely on city water. Recently we took it out and discovered that the fresh waster reserve was empty. Before I left I had a hose in the fill port for a bit of time until it was overflowing. Not sure when it began overflowing as I was doing other things. When I returned from thr trip I once again put a hose in the fill port and almost immediately it was overflowing.My question is; do I need to have the pump on during the fill or is there a valve that is stuck closed?Thank you in advance

have to fill slow those were known for kinked hoses or odd bends in the fill tube also the vent lf ine could be clogged

Need a better description of your problem. You put a hose in the fresh water fill and ran it till it was full. Then you put the hose back in and it is again full. What am I missing?

What am I missing?I thought I filled it before we left to the camp site. Error on my part for not checking the monitoring system or the sink and toilet. Discovering the tank was empty at the site. When the trip was over and had it back home I reattempted to fill but it was overflowing immediately. This time I checked the monitoring system and it still shows empty. Time was running out and returned it to storage yard.

Some find that they need something like this:FillerThe monitor panels are about as reliable as you first girlfriend.

Vent? I only know of the city water connection and the fill port.

Is the hose easily accessible?
