Get 6' or 8' of vinyl tubing, park the p/u near the fill port, then put the 5 gallon tote up on the corner of the p/u box and just siphon the water into the tank.
No big fuss required, just let gravity do it's thing.
I have a 3 step folding step ladder with a platform on top step we bring when we won't have water hookup. Put the ladder in the bed of the truck, put the 7 gallon water jug on the ladder platform and let gravity do it's thing. Two 7 gallon jugs gets me to nearly half a tank (30 gallon) and it take about 5 minutes. usually not needed unless we are staying more than 3 days.
