If you can elevate the 5 gallon tank above the water inlet, then with a short length of clear plastic hose you could siphon it from the 5 gallon container into your RV tank. Since there is no pump to store or plugin it is foolproof. It will take longer, but who cares there is no running pump to watch / shutoff.
All that is needed is: the 5 gallon jug, a length of hose available at any hardware store and finally some way to get 5 gallon tank above the filler opening. I always used some kind of support or a hook to hang it on.
Used this method a lot over the years.
