Too many variables.....
Length of stay, number of people in the trailer, whether you're taking showers in the TT or using the campground showers, and doing dishes vs paper plates are a few things to consider.
One easy solution is to invest in a 6-7 gallon Aquatainer and fill the tank manually with or without a funnel. A luggage cart makes carrying the container easier but you still have to hoist it up to fill the tank. Some people use a kayak bilge pump & hose in the Aquatainer to transfer water.
Getting rid of gray water may be a bigger issue.
I have a 15 gallon plastic drum for fresh water and a 30 gallon drum for gray water in the truck bed, 12V pumps on each for transferring the water. But we're camping w/o hookups for 2/3 of our camping.
