Sanitizing Problem
Tried to sanitize water lines using the winterization inlet in the convenience center. Never did pull water/bleach solution from a container. Made sure the pump was primed and working. The winterization switch was on as well as the fresh water tank "fill" switch to fill. City water was off. Is there something else that needs to be done or is this another valve/switch that needs to be replaced like the black tank flush one that was just replaced? I gave up and poured water/bleach solution in the back fresh water tank inlet which is not nearly as convenient but worked. Thanks,

Try it with the fresh water fill closed. After it runs thru the lines then open the fresh water fill and it should pump to your tank.

Good suggestion. I tried that and it doesn't work. I even filled the hose with water and held it higher than the inlet to no avail. I think the valve is defective. The dealer offered suggestions by phone and still not working. This is not a major problem now but will be when winterizing.

Suggestions:
fresh water valve should be off.
all other water feed removed.
Check the hose connection to your sanitation connection. If that connection is not sealed you will not start a vacuum to pull the liquid.I tried to use a quick connect on that valve and it would not work. Changed to a cut off hose with a regular screw on connect and it worked.
You probably know this - Pour your bleach directly into your fresh water tank, add water, then sanitize your lines via your water pump.

Fill the water tank with some bleach about a cup and pump it through the system and let it sit in the system for a day. Then drain and flush a couple of times.
