Where is my overflow?

I haven't filled my water tank over full yet.  Since it sits between the front seats a water tank problem scares me something fierce.

Where is the tank overflow?

Open the passenger's side front (nose) access door.  There will be a 1 1/2" hose with screen over it (to keep out the bugs).

That is your potable water tank overflow.

Mine started to fall through the floor.  I removed the floor, and added tubes and 3/4 ply ,to hang the tank on the frame rails, instead of hanging it on the fiberglass floor.  Look under and verify that the wiring harness running out from under the tank is not pinched by the sagging floor.
 I also modified my above mentioned vent to fill through that hole.  FWIW you have to vent the vent to use that tank entry. IE stuff a small tube down the vent tube into the tank  to let air out as you fill.

Thank you very much.  You've really gone over the top for us on this purchase.
