2021 Micro Minnie fresh water tank fill port

[J_D]

For starters I am new to the forum and purchased the 2021 Micro Minnie 1808FBS used from the previous owner. Does the fresh water tank fill port have an easy method of filling? Is there an inner connector that disengages and extends out, like a stored flexible plastic tube that would extend out for easy filling then be pushed back in and locked into place. My previous travel trailer had a easy fill port that extended out, but I can not tell if the Micro Minnie has one and I do not want to force the fill port plastic opening and break it.

Greetings J_D,
I believe your single water hook-up is for either "city" (pressurized city water service) or "tank fill" (when you reset the fill switch to "Tank Fill".) I believe the fill port is below the top level of the tank, so you must fill your tank with pressurized hose water. I do not believe you can gravity-fill your fresh water tank.
I would add that I have not seen this in-person, so perhaps another Micro Minnie owner can chime-in here if my understanding of this is incorrect.
Welcome to the forum.

Hi J_D,
We have a 2021 Micro Minnie 1708FB. It has a port for pressurized city/park water. Next to it is a gravity-fill port. The hose does not attach to ours. I just hold the hose and allow the water to flow into the port. When it is full, the water just runs back out the inlet so watch your feet.

A small point but I like to do several things at once if I am just a bit short on time to get going?
One way to fill the tank and and also do something else is to "find" a short piece of hose to add to the garden hose used to fill the tank. We often have some old hoses around to salvage a piece18-24 inches long that I screw to the main hose.
That leaves me with a cut off end that will stick far enough down into the fill port to stay without me holding it!
I let the water run until I see it is overflowing while I do other small stuff to get ready!

Second what TimB said. Two fill ports, but my 2024 has the city water on drivers side with the other utilities, and gravity fill on passenger side by a spray port located there. I just push the hose in a bit and fill. I bought a “screw on spout” that someone 3D printed to be able to pour from my 5 gal bottle I carry, but does not work well at all, so I carry a Milwaukee pump to use to transfer water when I have to fill and not near a water supply.

That's exactly what I did. I had a potable hose that got permanently attached to a water filter so after I gave up trying to free it I cut it into a 6-7' foot length to use as a filler hose, and I keep it with the replacement potable hose. Key word in this is "potable."
