Barney,
You need to make sure the vent is not plugged as others advise. However, if you are putting water into the tank too fast, that little vent hole cannot keep up, and it needs to vent out along side of the hose that you are using to fill the tank. Those pre-made fillers are nice if not as flimsy as some suggest, but cutting off the end of an old fresh water hose works just as well. Insert the cut off end into the filler neck and connect the other to your shore water hose. I cut off 8 inches of the old hose, but you can do with more or less as you desire. I do not use or have a cutoff valve; i just fold over the hose and walk back to the shore cutoff with it in hand.
