Sanitizing Fresh tank

My Cedar Creek 34RLAS does not have a potable fill tube, just the valve to turn to have the city water diverted to the fresh tank. How does one sanitize the fresh tank without being able to pour Bleach into a potable water fill tube? Only thing I can think of is set the valves for winterization, bypass the hot water heater, and pump bleach into the tank with the RV antifreeze hose and leave the fresh tank winterization by-pass valve turned off?
All my previous rigs have had the potable filler tube. Thanks

Put bleach into garden hose, hook to trailer and then fill fresh water tank.

1/4 cup bleach for every 15 gallons. Run faucets until you smell chlorine. Let sit 4 hours. And welcome to the forums!
