Has anyone added a gravity fill to their fresh water holding tank? I would really l like to add a fill spot to my 2008 Sea Breeze, but I cannot for the life of me even find where the tank is located! I haven't removed the main panel where the valves and water inputs are, but i suspect the tank isn't quite behind that panel anyways. How do I ago about finding where my tank is located?

You tank is located behind some dummy panels on the side of the rig. Look for a plate with several screws above your compartment doors amid-ship or to the rear. The tanks are directly under the floor and above the frame.

I have a gravity feed on mine but I have rarely used it and I can't think of any reason to use it. When I am dry camping and I need to ship water, I use my winterizing kit and draw water from a 7 gallon water can that I bring directly into the holding tank using my water pump. Taking on water from my pump panel is the what I do the majority of the time PLUS I filter all of the water that comes into the pump panel.

this works for me also or go to Lowes & buy a small pump---I think I paid about $50 for it.
