Tank fills slow
Just wondering if your fresh water tank fills slow . Don't matter if i fill from house or use the pump . I bought a gage so i can see how much i but in . It's like 2 gallons a min hooked to house at 45 psi.

If you just run the hose into a bucket, how fast does it come out? 2 GPM is not terrible, 3 GPM is common from a hose. 45PSI is also on the low side which will reduce it more
I use the gravity fill and haven't timed it but the camper takes everything the hose will deliver2021 Imagine 2800BH

Also keep in mind, if using a pressure reducer, it will slow down the flow rate. Most people use a "cheap" pressure reducer which actually restricts flow and isnt a true pressure regulator.

I have a 2020 337 and yes it is slow to fill the fresh water tank using the Power Fill setting on the Nautilus. It takes 15-20 minutes to fill the tank. I think it is about 50 gallons.
Edit: I use a pressure gauge set to 45-50 pounds so that probably keeps my fill time about the same for each fill. I never fill at the same spot twice since we move all the time.Last edited by Always Learning; 09-15-2021 at 03:01 PM.

Nothing to do with tank or unit and everything to do with available supply flow. Residential is typically 4 to 12 gpm at entrance (well or meter). By the time it's distributed to a hose big, as little as 2 gpm is not unusual.

Mine also takes a while since I have one of those cheap pressure reducer. It might feel longer then it takes since I'm just standing around close to stop it as soon as I see the overflow. Feels like 30 min but could very well just be 10. Lol
