water point access

The DW and I are planning a trip to a campsite (Arrow Rock SP, Missouri) with electric only sites. We have yet to use the fresh water tank in the 5 times we have had the TT but will have to for the pending trip. Anyway, the camp site has a few water points that all seem to be right beside the road. Questions: 1. Why don't they put water points away from a main road so you are not blocking the road as you fill? 2. How long should I expect it to take to fill a 90g tank. 3. Should I invest in a Camco water bandit?

    1: They are put in the easiest place, plumbing-wise, so beside the road. Ideally, there would be a pull-off for that, but good luck there.

    2: Depending on city water pressure, it takes me about 7-15 minutes to fill my 45 gallon FW tank, so double that. I highly recommend using an inline filter, so I'd guesstimate a half hour or so.

    3: Yes. I'd also invest in a two-valve Y connector as well. The reason for this is if someone wants water while you are filling up, they can just use that, as opposed to yanking your hose off. I personally use a four-valve manifold out of brass, but too expensive, and it can disappear.
