When filling using the city water connection, the hot water heater will also fill. The best way to do that is to open kitchen and bathroom faucets (hot and cold) and let the air out as the water enters the system. It is important to bleed the air from the hot water tank when filling. Once water emerges consistently (no more air) from the hot water faucet the hot water tank is full and you can close the hot water faucet(s). Be prepared for some spattering during this process, especially with the bathroom sink.
The same is not true when filling the fresh water tank. That process only fills the fresh water tank and not the hot water heater. Once you activate the on board water pump (by turning on the pump switch and opening a hot water faucet), water will go from the fresh water tank into the hot water tank - about 6 gallons worth. I prefer to fill the hot water tank at home, prior to traveling.
