It might not be your only problem, if you would be able to see inside the fill hose, you might not like what is in there. I had a clear fill hose on a trailer years ago that I replaced several times because of mold.
Those vents that are not inside a hatch door will collect rain water, wash water, dust and just about anything. My opinion is that they should have never been certified for a potable water system.
My vent is inside the hatch door.
I'm sure the fill neck gets yucky, too, but it's black rubber so you can't see it. I suspect that it dries out well enough since it's so big in diameter. It's the little vent tube that stays damp.
The tank itself is clean (it's translucent so you can see it).
I don't worry about it though - we don't drink or cook with the onboard water. Just brush teeth. I sanitized the water tank once 10 years ago but have never done it since. I drain the entire system after ever trip.
