I searched through a bunch of threads and couldn't find any advice for this problem: When I start to fill the fresh water tank (from empty) it often won't start to fill (for what seems like a long time as it overflows back out of the spout) until the air sputters and burps out of the little hole above the fill spout. I use several methods to get it going - blowing air through a straw, running around to the drain valve and opening it to purge the air, but none are foolproof. I see people fill the tanks on their big rigs in a fraction of time it takes me to fill the little T@B tank. Any advice out there? What is my problem? Once the burping and sputtering is done the tank fills fast and there is no problem.

A 5-6 gallon jug sitting directly on top of the plastic tub is too much weight for the lid. To disperse the weight, we either put a small piece of plywood across the length of the tub or we collapse our little Walmart table and use that. Then just put the jug on the wood/collapsed table and siphon it from there. It works well with our 2.5 gallon jugs, too.
