Volks,

OK, first an admission:  Don't do the dumb stunt I did....trying to get bleach into the tank through the filler tube on the outside (wanted to kill anything living in there....its our first fill-up with the the water tank).  Anyway, overflowed the bleach, it ran down the side and left brown streaks on the paint job :-(  I'm hoping rubbing compound will take it out.

Now for some questions:  I hooked up a hose to the city water fill adapter.  Only about 40 lbs. of city pressure but the faucet couldn't hold it.  Is there a washer kit for this thing to get it so it will stop the water flow?  It was either turning on the electric pump or dripping.....there was no definitive shut-off.

Second question:  How in the h*ll do you fill the water tank from the outside?  I stood there like an idiot holding the hose and watching the water run down the side of the van.  I felt like the dork in the old AAMACO transmission commercial.  You the know the one...some geek with his hat on sidewayssaying,"let me fix it boss, I was born to fix a tranthmithion"
