Filling tank with five gallon tote?

Yes there is an easy way to do it.
I purchased a cheap 12 volt water pump and mounted it to board with a electrical box for a switch. Then I attached two six foot sections of clear tubing to the pump. Next I wired a plug end to the pump so I could plug in an extion cord to connect to a battery with clips.
I bring the full 6 gallon water tank back to the TT, set in on the ground and put the suction end of the hose into the tank and the discharge end into the water fill on the trailer.
I have a small metal folding table that I set the pump on next to the water tank.

I have an old Sure flow water pump that I use like Bob and if I was staying at some place for a long time and can drain the grey water It works great. Having said that I find it easier using my solar shower 5 gal bag from my back packing days to just hang it off my awning strap hold down and let gravity drain into the FW tank. By the time I set up the pump and table I could already have 5 gals in the tank. I find it is the same amount of work to carry 5 or 6 gals to the MH you just don't want to hold up 5 gals while you pour .
