Fresh Water Capacity--2020 Imagine XLS 20BHE

[vwjeff]

Hello,

I have a 2020 Imagine XLS 20BHE. The documentation says it has a 43 gallon fresh water tank however I can never get more than 29 gallons in the tank before water comes out of the overflow. I'm wondering if maybe it actually has a 30 gallon fresh tank or there is an issue with the placement of the overflow line. When water starts coming out the overflow it also siphons out about 8-10 gallons before it stops. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Thanks

Your 20BHE has a 37 gallon fresh water tank. The other six gallons (to equal the 43 in the specs) is held in the water heater.

Your experience with the amount actually held and the siphon is quite common. TucsonJim has a very informative thread on the topic here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...flow-revisited

We have the same issue of the siphoning when the fresh water tank starts to overflow when filling. (2019 Reflection 297rsts). The only thing we are doing is watching the fill process carefully and as soon as the overflow begins shut off the water supply. We still get a little siphon, but not much now.

This is a good thread to read on the topic of siphoning: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...flow-revisited
