This is how I do it. Might not work for you.
I use the short hose that came with the MH to add antifreeze to the system.
Set valves to bypass, Insert the hose into the 5 gal jug.
I then connect the outside shower hose using a 1/2" to garden hose fitting to connect to the fresh water tank. Turn on the cold water faucet. The pump comes on and pumps the water from the 5 gal jug into the fresh water tank. I have used this principle on several different RV's. Maybe you can make it work for you.
