Sanitizing fresh water tank

Trying to sanitize the fresh water tank. On a 04 DSDP. How do you put the chemical in the fresh water tank? Cannot get an opening to put the solution in the tank.

You could pour the bleach solution into the hose, then connect to the faucet and 'flush' it into the tank.

Open the water filter canister, remove the water filter, pore the bleach into the canister, close the canister, set the settings to fill the tank and turn on the water. When the tank is full, let sit for a few hours (some like to drive awhile to allow the water to flow back and forth in the tank). Drain and replace the filter. This is what I do.

I put 2 cups of bleach in the hose then hook the hose to the faucet and that sanitizes the hose that has been in storage and the tank. This is so simple to do.
