Hello all I am planning on one last trip out this year in our new rig. Its a open range lite 312bhs with rear docking station.The campground does not have full hookups so I have to fill up with water ...

We usually travel with 20-30% full. Generally there is no need to carry 500lb of water. If you are worried about taste, take a good filter and check before filling.
Unlike the black and gray tanks, the fresh water sensors typically work fine. Unless you are pushing the length of time you can go on a tank, I don't like using the vent line to let me know it's full. The vent is often smaller than the inlet, so if the inlet is under good pressure, it can pressurize the tank. These tanks are not designed for that. If you are going to use that, I would throttle back on the water valve as you get near full.
