Yeah pretty funny. We watched a few of the videos from their channel.

On the Vegas/Axis units the black tank is behind the large door on the drivers side, circled here: (at least it is on our 24.1)

Yes that isn't a storage spot, you open the long hatch there to see the side of the black tank flush with the door. It seemed strange to me for them to put a "hatch" there.
Silly me would think that the dealer would follow the Tornado's instructions and install it opposite the tank drain (the small hatch immediately to the left of the tank hatch). Instead they just opened the panel and installed it right in the center of the tank at the top (at least its at the top like the instructions say!). With it on the side like that there is no room for anything to be connected up to the Tornado when the hatch is closed. I was able to make a water inlet plug fit, though, to at least keep it sealed up when not in use.
Oh well...We used it all last summer whenever we had a full hook-up site. So far no leaks
I also was a bit concerned about drilling into the black tank (even when ours was new and never used) which is why I had the dealer handle it. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have done it myself...sigh.
