Sometimes (maybe 10% of time) it is implacable to dig out a longer hose and drag it through who knows what. I put on a fitting on the bottom of my gray water tank, that has a 1 1/2 inch gate valve drain. And put in a 90 degree and short piece of pipe with a hose bib fitting. Water doesn't care how it gets to fresh water tank. When filling now...when water starts to leak out of over flow, tank is full. Or wife watching monitor. Either way don't have to drag out longer hose and do everything right at back bumper.
This is what fit mine. Fit Valve Slip Hub, 1-1/2" Yours might be different size. But if you don't have gate valve for fresh water drain, this post is of no help.
Even more to find is something that is rated "food grade". Including water regulators.
