We frequent various gov parks. Some have electric only at the sites with water available at various spots around the loops. The maps are never accurate as to those locations. I carry 300 feet of fresh water hose as a result. It saves having to move the camper or use a water bag and pump on longer stays.
I'm curious .... how do you connect your water hose onto those smooth thread-less faucet nozzle outlets in gov parks? And once you get it connected so as to be leak-proof, how do you hold the faucet handle open on those faucets with a spring loaded handle?
I've tried the Water Thief and it doesn't work. The last state park we stayed at I had to keep hand refilling a 2-gallon bucket and walking back and forth between the RV and the faucet until the FW tank was filled.
