I bought a Harbor Freight 12V water pump that has standard hose bib threads on the input and output. The input has a plastic elbow that is fastened to a length of plastic pipe long enough to reach the bottom of my 7 gallon water jugs. The output connects to my 25 foot water hose. 12V for the pump is via a 7 pole plug that plugs into the camper pigtail in the pickup and a push-on/push-off switch is mounted on the pump.
So, when we are in hunting camp and need water we put the 7 gallon jugs in the back of the truck, go to town and fill the jugs in place in the truck. When we get back to camp I pump the water directly from the jugs in the pickup bed to the camper. No lifting required.
