Boondocking~ Simply way to add water ideas?

I'm camping at fabulous Fort Worden in Port Townsend,WA. But the water. Is off for the winter. My Montana does not have open hole, just hose connectors. Does anyone have a way to add five or 10 gallons? I have a 5 gallon plastic jug but it's connected end is bigger than a hose female end

    Your Montana should have valve settings in the water docking station that will allow you to suck water from external jug, into your internal water tank using your onboard pump. My Cardinal does, most do. Just have to have a short section of water hose that threads onto your city water connection, and put the other end into the jug.
  • You can use one of these with a bucket and a couple of short lengths of hose.

    I love Fort Worden. I worked for an architect in 1970 and we developed the plan for re-use of the Fort by the public. We spent most of the summer in Port Townsend and worked with WA State Parks, the WA State Arts Commission, and the community. We had use of the original linen drawings of the fort that were amazing artifacts.
