You need to look a little closer, one should be fresh water, one should "BLACK tank flush"
Yes it is dumb to stack them this way, but i will bet you it is cheaper to build.
Also always be comfortable contacting FR direct, that is part of what we all pay for (warranty) is just not for when things break down, it is for newbies to ask and learn how "not" to break thing also. So find all the phone numbers for all the people in your line ( there are different people for different lines) and put them in your cell phone to have handy.
Hope this helps some, and Happy Camping

RipSteele, give us your unit's model number so we can do some internet research - at least we can look at pics of a single model.
I apologize for contributing to the hijack of this thread. Thanks to Mr. Havercamp for getting it back to the OP's issues in post 17.

My Mini Lite has 3 connections: City Water, Black Tank Flush, and Anti-Freeze. The City Water and AF are next to each other. The BT flush is farther away.
Do you have a 3rd one somewhere else? It would make sense that your two are City water and Anti-freeze, since they're so close together. BT flush should be near the black tank, where ever that is.
You should post the model of your trailer, as there appear to be several "2011 Wildwood toy hauler" versions out there.

And with two tanks you need a 3 way valve somewhere on the pump suction line.
Maybe they cut the 3" hole for it in the wrong place, and then just stuck an extra fill port in to fill the hole ? That would not surprise me.
Why not look underneath, or open up the access inside, and see whats connected to them and where it go's?

Back to post 17. With the freshly posted model number, I located the pic below and see a better pic of the "two gravity fills with no threaded connection". I can't read the two identical warning labels next these fill tubes.

Now inquiring minds want to know if there are two (2) fresh (potable) water tanks or one (1) tank with two (2) fill tubes. Ha! Of course, that might require dropping the bottom cover and must of us don't want to know that badly!

Could possibly find the rate of fill from your home spigot (time to fill a 5 gallon bucket) then fill a tank and see how long it takes, or just fill one and see if you can add more water to the second inlet. The first scenario would tell you approximately the size tanks though.

My TT has two as well. One is to fill the fresh tank and the other is city water bypass. They are located one above the other as you described. Bypass is threaded and the tank fillis not.

I wonder why they call it "city water bypass." What are they bypassing?
If you'll look at the pic in post 27, you'll see his city water hook-up (threaded connection) to the right of this pair of caps (which don't appear to be female threaded).

Why do you feel stupid?
I'm still scratching my head!
They both look like fresh water fill ports and both the labels say exactly the same thing. (I believe both caps do as well)
Did I miss something in your photo pointing to the definitive as to whether it has two tanks or not?

I feel stupid for the fact I can't figure out why they would put two fill tubes on here. I do know now it has two tanks with two separate drains. I'm not sure yet how both are connected to one another.

They call it bypass because it bypasses the holding tank and distributes the water directly Thur the the water system and also bypasses the water pump!

You just through me a loop with that answer. Your saying I have a tank that I can fill with water and it will bypass everything? This is not a city water connection but two fill tubes
