If you have access to your on-board water pump (from anywhere), you can always unscrew the in-take like and attach a hose there.
My first travel trailer, I had to do this to winterize. I got a hose and attached the female connection that fit on the male in-put side of the pump. Stick the hose in a gallon jug of the pink antifreeze and then flip on the water pump and ran it through each line, hot and cold.
If you can access the pump from anywhere, you should be able to do this.
My second trailer had a bayonette type attachment. I got the counter part hose with the same bayonette end, and simply removed the main in-line and replaced it with the hose.
My third trailer, I added a T valve with a separate hose for winterizing myself.
Here again, if you can access the pump, you can always remove the in-put line and attach a hose there.
