Silver Back Fresh Water Tank Sanitation

I have 2015 Silver Back 5er manufactured by Cedar Creek model 29RE and I have been unable to figure out how to add the bleach sanitation mixture to the fresh water tank. I have read the user manual and it wasn't any help. In my Montana there was a vent cap that I could easily use to pour the mixture into the fresh water tank but no such vent cap on the Silver Back.
Any suggestions or idea would be appreciated.

    Pour the bleach in the hose. Then connect the hose and turn on water.

    Easier on the hose if you cut the bleach with water before pouring it into the hose. A hose will hold a pretty good quantity of bleach/water.

    What Wolfe10 said. That's how I did it when I had my Cedar Creek Silver back fifth wheel.

    You can also add the bleach to some water in a bucket or jug and use your winterizing tubing to pick it up through the pump.

    You can also do this for vinegar if needed to freshen up the water heater when the hot water gets a little schmelly.
