    How to Fil your Fresh Water Tank on a Host Truck Camper |E38

    11/14/2021
    Fixes & Maintenance

    This is a quick video showing how to fill your fresh water tank on a Host Truck Camper. You can connect up using the “city water” option but many times we’re no where near a regular spigot.

    Check out our Fresh, Gray & Black Tank Maintenance in our Gear section for other items/

    Stuff we bought and mentioned in this video

    Here are some items that we regularly use. Hope this helps!

    We started using this one after we had some “rotten egg” smells from our water heater. We do tend to use it more but haven’t had the issue since.
    With the Dual filters outside and filtering our drinking water inside with this, I think we’re in pretty decent shape! We did start purchasing the longer-lasting filter replacements
    We started out with the standard filters and moved to these longer-lasting ones. They do seem to last longer and I feel better about having less plastic waste.
    This works well when you’re using your water filters off the spigot and the spigot is a bit short. Many times the hose can’t bend that quickly. This has come in handy at least 3 times in the past 6 months.
    We currently have three of these bags: 1 for the main electrical cable, 1 for our main 50′ water hose, and 1 for our spare hose and extra 50′ 15A extension cord. They keep our stuff organized and can pull out just the bag of stuff that’s needed.
    This is our 1st line of defense when it comes to water filtration. This filters out a lot of the larger sediment that typically will clog up your main filter quickly. This works with the 1 micron filter I show above but can also work with the standard blue ones.
    This was the first hose we bought before full-timing. Still working (unlike the AquaJoe
    Tossed (6/2022) – This is similar to the Zero-G but it seems a bit more robust to us. We actually found this at Walmart in white, but the same specs for a similar price.
    2022-06-09: Didn’t make it through one season without springing a leak. Guess we were wrong about that one! This one was a lot more annoying to coil as well (did kink in several areas during the winter which is what I suspect was it’s demise). We did blow out all water during the winter to help, so it wasn’t due to freezing water. Bummer.
