We camp exclusively in Indiana State Parks which only offer electric hookup, no water, no septic.
We camp within 200' of a water spigot so we can use our hoses to refill the 84 gallon tanks. This was the highlight of this camper, huge fresh water tanks!
If a spigot isn't around, I have two 7 gallon Aquatainers that I can sit on a tent chair and use a kerosene battery pump to empty into the fresh water inlet. Been doing that for years. Using a funnel isn't fun. Water is 8.3 lbs per/gallon so each full Aquatainer is close to 60 lbs. Tried that by myself and it isn't fun. Usually 2 rounds at 28 gallons will last a day or so with a 4 person family. It's slow but 'sometimes' more convenient than using the campground's bath house.
I also have a 25 gallon waste water blue tank. I've been using it for 10 years. Love this model. Very very reliable. Next Tank will be the Tote-n-stor 32 gallon model.
