I recently bought a '20 303RLS with what's supposed to be a 54 gallon fresh water tank. Took it on its maiden voyage last weekend and I'm pretty sure I must have only filled it half full even though the indicator said full.
The salesperson said to fill it until it comes out of the overfill. The manual says to only put in capacity as stated and to NOT overfill it (5 gallon pail at a time maybe?) We were only out a couple days with only 1 short on/off type shower and only had about 2 gallons that drained when we got home (and it said LOW the last day). It said 1/3 tank almost immediately after we first got to our camp spot.
Has anyone cut some sort of access hole to see tank level? Do you fill it slowly after it reaches 2/3 full until it burps out the vent? What works for other "dry" campers?
Our last camper had a 40 gallon tank and would last us over a week under similar conditions. Thanks for any help,
Jeff
