    Can't fill fresh water tank all the way

    When I try to fill my fresh water tank, I can only get a little over 1/3 full, then it won't accept anymore. I was able to fill it all the way in the past. I have a 2008 Big Horn 3400RL. Any ideas why this is happening?

    enclosed underbody vs enclosed fresh water tank

    Being a prospective new owner and comparing trailers, I realize the Edge does not have an enclosed underbody and the gray and black tanks are therefore exposed, but what about the fresh water tank? Is it inside, enclosed, not exposed to the elements and somewhat heated by the trailer? Where is...

    I realize everyone has an opinion so I am lookinig for all of them. I plan on putting my trailer away for the winter and all that goes along with it. The question I have is do I just blow the water lines out or use the anti-freeze or both. I live in the mid-atlantic area and the wineters are...

    fresh h2o filler

    I found it almost impossible to fill the fresh water tank while dry camping because the filler hole is so high up in the corner of the docking station. I tried using a funnel but couldnt get any slope so the water went everywhere. This platform make it easy to hold the 6 gallon jug up while...

    Hello...I have a new 2010 Cyclone 3010 and this past weekend I was able to use all the appliances in the toy hauler.

    Like many others, I have had problems getting my fresh water tank full, before the filler line over flows. Last time I tried to fill up, I could onlt get it about 2/3 full. I was debating using a hose clamp and attaching to the drain line and filling from the bottom up (so to speak) until the...

    3850 fresh water tank

    Still working out bugs on new rig. Most seem related to water system. I have already discovered that when the water gauge shows 1/3 it is empty for all practical purposes. The pump won't pick up anymore. Yet When you drain the tank it will drain for over 30 minutes. When we went camping this...

    fresh water tanks on 3850

    It seems as though our new 3850 has two fresh water tanks? I measured how long it took to fill a 5 gal bucket then timed how many gallons went into the tank. (tanks??) At about 50 gallons my water gauge showed full ?? I put another 50 gal in and shut it off. So...it appears there are two tanks...

    City Water Filling Fresh Water Tank

    I have been on the road for 6 weeks but now that I have been stationary for a week - I finally have determined that my fresh water holding tank leaking out of the fill spout is being caused by the city water. When I arrived at the campground, my fresh water holding tank was dribbling some...

    Bought a slightly used 2006 2955RL. There are 3 1/2in tubings near the rear. 2 of which puke out 1/3 of my fresh water supply. I solved the problem by stuffing baby carrots into 2 of them qnd a 1/4 turn valve into the 3rd one to facilitate filling but it bugs me where they go and what they are...

    Fresh Water Tank Treatment

    I was wondering how often you guys treat your freash water holding tank? I store mine empty (well as empty as it will get with the drain open) and rarely use it, as we try to find full hookups. But as I was filling it yesterday, I thought that I should probably be treating it. So if you do...

    Problems filling Fresh water tank

    I have tried filling my fresh water tank twice now (only had unit 13 days). Seems like there is 1/2 as much water flowing back out of the fill tube as there is going in. Didn't realize that the water would find its way into my basement but it did. That is not a problem but the backflow is...

    Fresh water pick up?

    I just brought home a 2010 Sundance 2900MK. The water pump will start sucking air with 1/3 still showing on the guage and upon inspection of the tank itself, shows the water level right at the 1/3 sensor. Is there a pick up tube inside the tank that will pick up to the bottom of the "sag"? Or do...

    3300SK Fresh Water Tank Problem

    Can you tell me if the 3300SK has a pick up tube inside the fresh water tank? My water outlet hose (that connects to the pump) exits the fresh water tank about 1/3 of the way up and as a result only about 2/3rds of it's capacity is available. Since it appears to share the same outlet with the...

    Only Able to Access 2/3 of Fresh Water Tank

    I have a 2008 3300SK. When we dry camp, only about 2/3 of the fresh water tank will flow until the pump begins to suck air. When I pull the bottom insulation away enough to see the fresh water tank, it appears that the tank outlet hose (that travels up to the pump) is mounted about 1/3 of the...

    fresh water drain

    Greetings, We picked up our new Big Country 3250 TS Sat. and have been looking for the fresh water and the other holding tanks. I have found a drain underneath beside the spare tire. Is this the fresh water tank drain or the low point drain for winterizing? Also would love to know where the...

    Fresh water storage tank cleaning

    Anyone willing to share thoughts on the ABC's of how they go about chlorinating/disinfecting the fresh water tank? The frequency it should be done? :confused: Don't know how often it should be done but it seems to me it should be as simple as adding some clorox, filling to overflow and...

    Using Fresh Tank

    During dewinterizing, and sanitizing, I bled the air out of all the water lines, hot and cold. I still noticed air belching when I pump out of the freshwater tank. I verified the valving, and it is correct. I pressurized the system, and turned the pump off. The next day, I turned the pump back...

    anyone added a fresh water tank fill valve?

    Has anyone added a valve and a "tee" fitting the fill the fresh water while connected to city water. My old fleetwood class C had one, it made it real easy to fill the tank. I know the danger of pressure filling the tank, but I believe it can be done safely. your thoughts.

I am trying however to use the water supply in the unit- tank is full and I can hear the 12v pump running, but nothing out of any outlet (no water- no air pressure).
