Filling the Fresh Water Like a Boss
All of my travel trailers have had gravity-filled fresh water tanks, and it's always been a struggle to get the water in them. The fill port is on the side of the camper, so the water has to enter...

For everyone who thinks I might have an insect or something in my vent opening, I don't see how, since it's covered with a screen (the small hole on the bottom right).
It's also obvious that I don't have a kink in either the fill line nor vent line. The biggest problem is that I have a long horizontal hose to my fresh water tank (the green/white hose).
A regular hose-end will only fit into the opening an inch or so, and when you turn on the water, it just splashes back unless you turn the volume down really low.
My solution is to insert a long fill hose (with no connector) into the fill port all the way to the bottom of the tank. Then I can turn on the water to maximum and the tank fills from the bottom up.
