Better Fresh Water Fill?

Does anyone know of a company that makes a better quality fresh water fill cap setup? The angle of my exterior fill next goes up hill to my fresh water tank makes it really hard to fill and when completely full it keeps pressure against the outside cap. I know I can add a valve to the overflow to stop that from leaking out when traveling but I'm looking for a better fresh water fill setup. Thanks

Might be good to know what TT you have. In general, it seams Jayco cuts all the gravity fill hoses a little long so you have to fill up hill. I have never heard of anyone having water pressure against the gravity fill cap.

I found a Camco water tank filler. Shove it in and I do not get any water backing up against the fill port or leaking out as I fill. The one I have does not have the shut off valve. It works really good.

I just used mine about 2 hrs ago. Get one with a shut off valve. It helps when you need to futz around, like adding bleach water.

My exterior fill next was actually installed upside down it pointed the spout inside down when it needed to go up. I flipped it over and now it's a straight shot into the fresh water tank, before it was down and then up hill. Works a lot better now if the leak has stopped I used some butyl tape on the threated hose barbs.
