The last trip out our fresh water was gone in just a few days. I can never trust the gauges,
So I opened the underbelly and observed the fill. I filled till it started to back up and observed the level. It was only filled 30% front and rear.
I found that the rear tank vent line was sagging so that it would not vent properly (all fill and vent lines need to be above the top of the tanks).
I was able to secure the vent line to the framing above the tank, then proceeded to fill the tanks. I was able to fill more onto the tanks, but still could not fill them all the way. Water was backing up through the FILL hose at 80%.
I found that the front tank vent and fill hose cannot be rerouted above the tank level due to the trailer frame.
Since the vent for the front tank is on the left front corner of the tank,
the only way to fully fill the tanks was to have the front landing gear fully extended.
If you think you might have a problem - remove a few screws from the underbelly on the left side in front of the axles, with a light you should see the level of both tanks.
