Fresh water fill

[brenkco]

I have a 2026 Paradigm 310RL. When filling the fresh water to prep for boondocking, the water ran excessively after it became full. I recall on other 5ers I've owned that it was necessary to stick an angle stop on the over flow line to stop the syphoning of the top part of the storage tank. I had a visual of the other tanks, plus an air vent in the wet bay. The Alliance doesn't seem to have a visible vent.

Has anyone run into this issue? Any installed an angle stop? TIA

I have a 2023 310RL. Never had an issue. Over flow is by the fresh water tank drain on mine. Just a blue pex pipe sticking out the under belly.

I also use a water meter so I know when I’m close.

Yea, I have one too, but what I was doing is topping off the tank prior to boondocking. I had no idea how many gallons were in the tank, thus no clue as to what I needed.

After the ‘syphon’ effect, the meter read 2/3, flashing to full. I lost the top off.

If your gage is right. Mine never seem to be. You can always turn the water on and see how much it lost. Would not think it would lose 10 or 15 gallons. Let us know if you figure out how much it is losing. I might have the same issue and just don’t know it.
