Fresh water fill line

[billyray50]

Noticed than when I have tried to fill fresh water tank the water would just pour out. Looking back when taking delivery of TC at Truck camper warehouse it did same thing. In my haste doing PDI after TCW set up camper on truck and setup in their full service sights overnight I thought tank was full already. Spoke with Adventurer service rep and was told it that Fill hose maybe kinked or slope is not correct. Went and purchased a 4' 1/2 inch water hose and cut the end off. Shoved the piece of hose down fill port and definitely felt some restriction but got hose past it and was able to fill water tank. Looked online and seems to be common problem with all types of RVs. Any suggestions?

Thanks... Will take care with hose. I read many threads on google regarding this situation. Thats where I got idea for 4 foot half inch hose to fill. Will talk to Adventurer about possible repair.

I don't know how common it is, but I can see how someone could kink the hose if they aren't paying attention. Fyi, watch out sticking the hose deep against a restriction. If you puncture the filler tube, the water will go in your basement.

Yes Bedlam i think so too. In first pic the freshwater line lays over that copper pipe and from my view since i cannot get in that far in basement storage hose has a narrower shape to it.

I think the fill is kinked - If you have a borescope camera or can borrow one, you can verify this. You may be able to move/rotate the fill line to eliminate the kink if the crease has not set into the line.

Could be that the vent line is kinked or plugged. Just a thought.
