Often it will be connected to the filler.

Hi
There apparently is a lot of difference between these units. There is no filler for our fresh water tank it is filed thru the potable water system by a valve in the convenience center.

Just some fyi, Lifestyle introduced a few new models in the last year of production which eliminated the Titan box frame. IF your rig does NOT have the 3-door rear basement it will have a number of different build features.
One of the things LS changed in 2015 or later is the service center with the water fill/winterization valves. Maybe someone can chime-in about that system. Hopefully your rig came with a manual. Normally the manufacturers placed a placard in that compartment providing operational instructions.

Only solution I can think of is to slowly fill the tank and keep an eye out for water.
I use one of these plastic water meters when filling the FW tank. I’ve a 2nd one that is used to flush the black tank and leave 5-10gal of water in it after dumping.

I do have the manual that came with the unit however like most RV manuals it has very little model specific information. The information on filling the fresh water tanks is in the convenience center and that only says to decrease the water flow so you don’t exceed the ability of the vent during filling.
After I have the water meter I will fill it very slowly to see if the vent works where ever it is.

Hi
I think I have found the fresh water tank vent. I put 25 gallons of water in the tank today and ran the water pump. It took about 5 minutes for the pump to finally prime and make pressure.
It looks like they put the vent for this tank in the battery box where the batteries for the refrigerator are located. If I ever did fill the tank so water came out of the vent it would drain on top of the batteries.

Hi
I put 25 gallons of water in the fresh water tan and all seems to be working well.
The only thing I noticed is when running the kitchen and bathroom water faucets the pressure surges. I can hear the pump come on and then shut off and then back on causing this surg.
I haven’t tried the shower on the water pump but did try the toilet and this doesn’t happen with the toilet.

Hi
Has anyone put a bladder type expansion tank in the fresh water system to take this surge out of the system?
