My camper is a '91.  There is no screen in the filler tube.  Maybe some
previous owner already broke it out?  Still takes a l.o.o.o.n.g time to
fill.  What size hose do you have that will snake down the tube?  Mine
won't, and the handy little device described earlier won't, either.  It
just makes it easier to control the water flow rate.

Admittedly, just breaking out the screen section would allow for much
more rapid filling, one just needs to be sure that the hose is clean
before snaking it through the fill tube, but it certainly would allow
for a much more rapid fill. I never cared to fill from the inside of the
van as I invariably make a mess. From the sounds of things, perhaps the
earlier vans did not have a screen at the start of the fill valve? Learn
something new every day about these vans.
