Hi all, I'm happy to say that my wife and I have a 2017 Sportsmen Sportster 311TH10 on order, which is due in about a month. We're very excited, as this is our first RV/camper. We thought of a smaller toy hauler, but decided on this one with the hopes we'll be happy with it for several years. I have a couple of minor questions. We'll be mounting a TV in the living area and one in the bedroom. The units we've looked at recently don't have the "mount TV here" sticker that you see on some models, but I spoke to the KZ rep and he said there's a backing board in the designated area. How have you located the TV mounting location for your TVs?
Second question is on water tank filling. We'll be camping quite a bit in state parks in the midwest, and most sites have electric only. On longer stays I expect to be refilling the water tank. Do these units have a gravity feed filling location? I haven't looked for that on any of the units I've toured.
Any other words of wisdom?
Thanks, Will

I've only had my 2015 MXT319 for a couple of weeks now, and the MXT is now called the Sportster. The salesman showed me how to fill the fresh water tank on mine. It is located under the bed at the water pump. He said to use the city water hookup on the outside of the trailer. There is a valve located by the water pump. Flip the valve, then the water goes into the fresh water tank. I have not had to do this yet, but it seemed pretty easy when he showed me. There is not a gravity fill on mine.

Thanks Darrell. I expect that one could use the city water hookup in the same way, if there's not a gravity fill port. Just hook a hose from the external water tank to the city water hookup, but it would probably fill slowly unless one used a pump, or lifted the supplying tank very high.

I don't know about the speed of filling. The dealer had done that for me, then showed me what he did and how to do it. Good luck with your's.
