My 2009 1509T has NO fresh water fill other than the city water hose bib connection. Is there an EZ way to add water when I am dry camping?

There should be a small door on the front wall on the lower section that you open with your accessory key. Inside you will find the fresh water fill opening. There is 15.5 gallon tank under the floor. The hose connection will not fill the tank.

I am not sure about your trailer but mine a 1999 29b Hi-Lo . The fresh water tank can be filled 2 ways there is a door with a fresh water fill, also in the front road side compartment on the lower section there is a series of valves. You can turn one of the valves and it will divert the hose water to the tank. You must watch for the tank to fill up and turn the valve off when full. Or you will over fill and cause a leak out the vent on top of the tank. The other valve is used to syphon antifreeze in to the fresh water system to winterrise your trailer.

For whatever reason, the 15' HI-LO has a different setup for potable waterm than other HI-LO's. Rather than a large 20-some gallon tank underneath, they have a tank under the street-side table seat -- next to the pump and water heater. You fill it by removing the seat cover, and turning a valve on the inlet pipe. Then just attach a hose to the water inlet, and turn the water on. Water will fill the tank rather than the plumbing. There is also an overflow that will dump water on the ground if over-full. Once full, detach the hose and turn the valve back the other way.

I think HI-LO chose to do the smaller tank to keep tongue-weight down. You could easily modify it and gain some very precious space back to the interior storage where the tank is, by adding the underneath tank and replumbing it -- there is plenty of room for it.

I actually like the way it works better than having an outside potable water connector -- it is simpler and easier to use. Just connect a hose and turn a valve.

Hope that helps,
