2009 Sportsman 310RKS no water fill!

Help! I just bought a 2009 KZ Sportsman and there is no gravity fill on the unit but there is a water tank. I can't find any valves to switch either. I found the specs on the camper and it says it has a 40 gallon fresh water tank but it appears as if there is no way to fill it. Does anyone have any ideas? The guy I bought it from passed away so I can't call him for help.

    The 09 brochure doesn't show any option that would indicate that there was something other than a gravity fill. I had an 09 KZ Spree that did include a gravity fill. Here is the 09 brochure if you are interested 09 Sportsman

    You can contact KZ and ask them directly! Sometimes, the obvious things get forgotten!

    You may have a winterizing hose. If so, you can draw water in from a container using the onboard pump.

    To fill from the city water port, turn the valve on to the tank. If this works, you should find a pair of vent pipes under the trailer and they will expel water when full.

    You will either have a valve right near the city water connection or you may have a second hose connection that is plumbed to the FW holding tank only. It may not be near the city water connection and most likely would be near the holding tank.

    I have hooked up to the city connection but it doesn't fill the tank. There are no valves that I can find.

    Hook up a hose to the fresh water inlet and see if it fills. There may or may not be a valve someplace you have to turn.
