Can't fill fresh tank over 1/3

I have a 2016 Flagstaff Super Lite 29FBSS. I tried to fill the fresh tank a couple weeks ago and it didn't take much water before it started coming out the fill tube. I shoved the hose in a little further so that it will kind of make a seal I guess. This allowed me to fill the tank. During this the vent/overflow started working and I could hear air coming through it. Today I tried to fill it and the water got to 1/3 and started to overflow out the fill tube. Never could get it filled. I got home and tried to blow through the vent hose. I was able to blow through it. If I blow through the fill tube you can fill the air try to push back at you. If I blow real hard I will get some air out of the vent but I still have back pressure in the fill tube. What should I do to correct this?

I had a 2001 Georgetown and the manufacturer sprayed sealant/undercoating all underneath. They ALSO sprayed it on the tank vent hose and sealed it shut.

On our unit both the vent and fill tubing ran up from their ports then bellied down forming a trap prior to attaching to the tank. This lead to much reluctance to fill and much belching. I shortened and streamlined their runs and it now fills with ease. No water comes out till it is completely full.

You may have a kink or sharp bend in the vent tube? It may require taking the covering down to inspect.
