Subject:Re: Filling the water tank

That's good -- but having spent over a decade filling my '84 Westy tank
from the outside using both original and new-type fill ports, I can tell
you that the fill system works just fine and should overflow to the outside
without leaking inside.  The original fill port with the DOM-locking plug
was less convenient but more secure than the newer type with the folding
funnel.  Both work fine with a half-inch tubing extension screwed onto the
hose.

Yrs,
