Do you have a picture? I will look at mine in the morning to see if anything looks like you described.

Hate you say it, but its the vent outlet fitting. for some reason, forest river didn't put the $6 piece of hose from there to the screen vent/overflow . If you look under the bath sink, you will find the vent between the city water and tank fill caulked instead of a house hooked to it.
Hope this helps and its a fairly easy fix

Mt 245Q has this same problem.Must have been a Friday or Monday built unit and someone did not want to put this vent hose on.Pretty easy fix that i will do here this weekend if we dont go out camping.I did use it like it is this weekend with no issues but just knowing iots not hooked up bothers me

I had the same problem on my 2011. The first time I used it, I thought we went through alot of water. Once I fixed the problem, our last trip it lasted the whole time. I can not believe that FR was this cheap on the fix.

Same on 26RL but the vent at the H2O is plugged with RTV or caulk of some type. Will run a vent line and clear the screened vent when I need to use the fresh H2O tank.
