Just got a used 2008 Wilderness Extreme and cannon find any manuals or helpful tips. When I try to fill the water tank, it just pours out of a hose in the front. Am I missing any valves or anything? The water pump runs but just spits. Im a first timer so any help is appreciated 👏
 
The low point drain valve is likely open.
 
Awesome, where would I find such a valve, other than the low point? It's the Extreme package so the whole bottom is covered and insulated. Thanks!
 
Best I can tell you is it will ordinarily be near the tank, try tracing the low point drain where you saw the water.

I just did a Google search. As follows:
In your 2008 Wilderness Extreme RV, the low-point drains are located under the RV's underbelly, often near the water heater and water pump. You will likely find a red drain for the hot water lines, a blue drain for the cold water lines, and possibly a separate one for the freshwater tank. Look for plastic caps or simple ball valves coming from the undercarriage to drain the system for winterization.
 
Found red and blue lines by the water pump with screw on caps on them. Opened and retightened both, no change. Water is still pouring out of a white line all the way at the left front of the trailer. It does not have a cap on it, but the end has a crimp fitting on it like maybe it did. Blocked it off with my finger while the water was on and I have no idea where the water went

You might find that there are valves that need to be closed. Look in compartments close to where you see the drain hoses. Some are easy to see others could be behind compartment doors.
