Adding fresh water while boon docking. 2017 337rls
I've read on some posts that there is a way to add fresh water to the fresh water tank by siphoning water from portable tanks while boon docking. Can someone tell me where I can find this info? I usually camp where water is available but when I go to Elkmont it isn't an option.

On our 303 the directions for where to set the water control are posted right near the water bay. Not sure if the newer models have that posted. How to do it might be in the manual.

You'll have the Nautilus P1 panel and the valve positions for the various functions are marked on it. Here's a link to the operating instructions... http://www.bandbmolders.com/files/User_Instructions.pdf

You can get a water bladder but you will need to pump it in the system. In Quartzsite we have a 50 gallon barrel and use a standard RV water pump to pump the water into the system. I don't think a siphon will have enough pressure to fill the tank. The seasoned full timers will tell you there's 2 spare parts you need to carry with you, 1 a extra water pump and 2 a extra power converter. If one of these two items goes out you can't live in your rig comfortably. Everything else has a work around.

Thanks, I just picked it up yesterday, I didn't see the Nautilus P1 manual in my booklet. I'll have to check again.
Looks like what I need is in the manual.
Lots of great info on this forum, thanks again!

My previous rv had a gravity fill port on the curb side of the trailer. I carried 6 gallon jugs with me to fill at the full stations outside the rest rooms. The pump system looks to be fairly easy from what I read in the Nautilus manual.
Looks like I won't be spilling as much water this way.

Sanitize setting on Nautilus 303. Elevating the jug helps the pump. Careful to not suck jug dry or could introduce air..not good. Works great

Hey Fishkiller i would like to know more how you added water into the fresh holding tank without a pump. we are headed out this weekend to Forrest hill fishing and will need to add water at some point. We dry camp and i thought the only way was to pump the water in with presssure.
Thanks
