I think the OP is talking about camping somewhere out in the boondocks a long way from water and getting more water into the main tank from smaller reserve water tanks that they carry along ... a whole different story than being around faucets.
I like the idea of using the water pump already in the RV and it's built-in winterizing pickup hose to pump water into the main system from reserve water tanks. Clean and simple using equipment already on board.
That's what I do. I ran my "anti-freeze" hose to a tee just inboard of the city water inlet. I then removed the check valve guts from the city water inlet. An inline check valve was then added after the tee in the original inlet line. Now I can attach a short water hose to the city water inlet and place the other end in a container of water and pump it to the fresh water tank. No wiring, no dirty anti-freeze hose, and no expensive parts to buy.
