New to RV's, Solar and Boondocking

I bought a 2015 Sprinter, 293FWBHS. It' nice, but there is a lot that I am still figuring out.

I was able to to get the power sorted. I bought a Raptor 9000 generator. It only puts out 30A, but it's enough if I don't overload it. I also have two Road Warrior 100Ah Lithium Iron batteries. Currently only one is hooked up. I am starting to collect some solar components. I bought two Renogy 130W suitcase panels, I still need to purchase more cables and a better battery monitor.

I can't figure out how to gravity fill the water on this model. It has the docking station. I tried to pump in the water with a drill pump but I think I was just pressurizing the system. I looked for the overflow but could not find that either.

Welcome to the forum

If you only have a single water hose connection, there is probably a red or blue lever that you use to switch from tank fill to city water.

In the tank fill it should fill the fresh tank and in city water it should pressurize the fresh water system.

Thank you for the advice. It's going to be a couple of rough weeks but I'll figure it out with the help of this forum.
