Please help! Can’t find fresh warer tank fill port 🤦🏼*♀️

Good morning from Central Texas! I seriously need some guidance here. We have a 2004 Cardinal and cannot seem to find the fresh water tank fill port. I feel like such an idiot, but in my own defense this is our first RV and we are learning as we go. Any advice, suggestions or guidance would be so very much appreciated. Thank you!!

Do you have a wet bay with levers/knobs to direct water flow?
Something like today's Nautilus controls where the hose connects?

Not familiar with your model however most have two inlets, 1 to fill fresh water tank and 1 city water. They are typically within a foot of each other. The fresh water tank will have a screw off cap and the city water will have fitting to screw your water hose on.

I wouldn't count on them being close, my SOB and I think my Flagstaff are on opposite sides, fill on passenger, city on drivers side.

I do believe the fill and fresh drain will be close as far as distance from the front or back of the trailer.

Taking a guess here check the driver's side rear of the trailer for a possible lockable compartment...Might look something like this

I don't honestly know but since the OP didn't provide a model I was trying to find a walk-though video.

Couldn't find one where they opened any of the outside doors.

Not sure if there's a walk-through video , for a 20 year old RV.
