Carry a set of fresh water containers of your choice in the back of your TV for collecting water and you won't have to lift anything.

Nice idea! But not all have the room to carry a set of water jugs.
Way back in our popup days I for awhile used collapsible 5 gal jugs for collecting water and of course they took up little room to store but over time I found they developed small leaks ... the Aquatainers I've had for years and have had no failures with any of them ... well, except one when I foolishly let it fall off the TV tailgate! :S The Aquatainer is cubed shaped and as such makes efficient use of the space available for storage ... and unlike that tall, green Desert Patrol container shown earlier the Aquatainer won't inadvertently fall over. It's inexpensive, durable, made of food grade plastic, stores efficiently as mentioned, and has a screw on vent cap rather than a plug cap that can inadvertently pop open ... been my fav for years now for collecting fresh water. I even have a separate set I use for offloading grey or macerated black water with my FloJet Waste Macerator, eliminating any need for a heavy tote tank.
Another option for collecting fresh water in quantity is a
collapsible water bladder, 'though I wouldn't be too keen on having that much weight sitting up on top of my truck's cab and would likely still use a pump to transfer the water out.
