I don't think there is a correlation between the number of tubes and the number of tanks. I have only 1 tank but two overflow tubes. I don't have the enclosed underbelly so I can see there is only 1 tank.

My tank drain and the low point drains are both labeled as low point drains as well.

Water iverfliw

If yiurTT has an external fill cap there shouldn’t be impeding your filling, and there is an overflow. If you have the fancy rig where you hook up the hose I wouldn’t know.

Fresh water tank not filling

I had the same problem. There is air in the lines that must be purged. I could only fill my 46 gal tank to 33 gals. It was under warranty and the dealer purged it for me. There are forums that tell you how to do this. I now use a inexpensive water flow meter when filling my tank. That way I know if I am getting the correct amount before going camping. Hope this helps.
Good Luck

I don't believe I have ever seen an rv with 13 gallons worth of pex.

I believe they count the water in the water heater also as fresh capacity.

Yes they do. Our capacity's 90 gallons, two 42 gallon tanks plus the 6 in the water heater. I checked the tanks spec on AmeriKart's website. They were the supplier on our 2012.

That is certainly possible, but most manufacturers that I have seen list tank size, not water capacity.

Either way 1/20th of a gallon in the pipes and 6 gallons of hot water heater have never stopped anyone from filling a fresh water tank, as was implied above.
