Tioga Water By-Pass valve?

[The Ham]

Hello all!
I've searched this forum/area looking for an answer regarding the by-pass valve for my 2005 Tioga. The manual indecates that it is in the area near the "City water" hook up but for the life of me, I can't see anything that tells me it is the by-pass valve.
I have seen others here say it is in the inside of their coach - like in a closet or in the sink area. Do I need to keep looking in all the nooks and crannies? I was looking for an easier way to fill the on-board tank than thru the gravity fill area.
Thanks - Great Site - LOTS of information!

I can't help you with the location, but does your gravity fill take a long time to fill your tank. I have a 100 gallon tank and mine doesn't take but a few minutes. I can get as much water into the fill as I need. Does your have an air release hole in the fill or not?

Good Luck

I have a 65 Gal fresh water tank, it takes about 10 minutes or so to fill, and I get a lot of "spray-back". I'm new to the RVing world, and will check on the air pipe thing. The last time I filled it for our boondocking, it only filled about 3/4 of the tank then leaked out as I turned a corner...but I think I didn't fill it all the way, and was in a hurry.
I'm taking this Friday to do "pre-camping" stuff so I will let you know then.
Enjoy the "life"!
