Gravity water fill on a 2018 Precept 35S

Any one knows if they're is a way to fill up the water tanks by gravity on a 2018 Precept 35S

I tried to look at some pictures but could not find any clue.

Thanks
Thierry

If memory serves, there is no gravity fill port. All water goes in through the panel hose connection, using the valves to determine whether it is from a pressurized source or not. You can use a non-collapsing suction hose and use the onboard pump to draw water in from a external container.

The above poster is correct. You can fill your tank by turning the 4 knobs on your water control panel, just above where you hook your hose up. You can also fill from a static water source by using a seduction hose and reconfigure those same 4 knobs and turning on your onboard water pump. JH

I added water pump under the Coach. Harbor Freight special. Tapped into a electrical supply and made a couple of short hoses. One from the pump to the Coach and one from the pump to the water supply,(water jug-tank). Just put the pick up tube in the water supply and turn the pump on and fill it up. It has just enough pressure the open the ball valve to fill the tank.

The 'country fill' option on the valves is very SLOW to fill, I tested it. I just pig tailed a plug into the power for the onboard pump and purchased an extra 12v water pump, same as the OEM one (gives me a spare) and use that in the normal 'city fill' position to pump water from my bladder to the coach, works just as fast as filling from a city source.
