There are basically only three ways to get water into your RV. The EASIEST is to hook up to an existing water source but doesn't sound like that's possible in your case. The NEXT easiest method is to take your RV to the nearest water source and fill it. One of the beauties of RVs being so portable. The last and least favored is to carry water to your RV for use on the site. You can use about any METHOD of carrying it you like. Probably the lowest cost is to purchase 6 gallon plastic jubs (Wallmart at a cost of around $7.00 each) and the MOST costly would be to purchase an appropriately sized water tank for the back of a truck. YOu lcan siphon it (almost free) or add a water pump like the one in your RV for a modest investment in the pump and somewhat larger one in the tank.
I ALMOST always use a combination of taking the RV to the water source plus carrying more water than the RV can cold (6 gallon jugs) but I let the exact method depend on the situation.
