I have a hole in the fill tube going to the fresh water tank. Any idea where I can find some replacement hose? I can't seem to find it on any of the RV part websites.
Thanks!

You can fing the tube at Rural King stores and buy it by the foot not a large roll that will never be used again.

Are you sure it's in the fill tube. I thought the same, and it turned out that the overfill indicator tube had come loose from where it plugs onto the back side of the fill plate.
Every time I filled, water would start running out the overfill tube all over the floor behind the walls.
To check this, have the tank near empty, then put a fast running hose into the fill tube. If there is a real gush of air coming out the overfill tube, it should be good, but if no air is coming out, the tube may have fallen off the push on nipple on the back of the plate.
good luck, Mike

Try an ACE hardware. They have a good selection of sizes by the foot.

Check your local Lowes or Home Depot in the plumbing department.

Anyone ever have trouble with the green/white hose leaking at the tank inlet?
I've tried several clamps, but soon realized that the hose is never going to seal as it can't compress around the inlet fitting - the white spiral is hard plastic and the green part is just webbing.
Even when the hose is tight, if the tank is filled all the way, water can work it's way around the spiral and leak out. Especially if it is filled when cold and the interior warms, causing the water to expand.
My solution up to this point is to not fill it all the way, but if I had a hose that didn't leak, I could fit several more gallons in there.
I'm thinking of looking for a different type of hose at the hardware store.

I had problems with mine at the tank, I used some silicone and 3 hose clamps. I put silicone on the tank fitting and slid the hose over it, worked for last year but I will probobly change it as I am doing some other project around it. Ace hardware has smooth inside 1 1/4" hose for $5 a foot.
