Looking for ideas to attach a funnel or something to assist pouring water (or bleach) into fresh water tank.I'd like something removable, and the non-funnel opening will support a hose with the vinyl tube adapter on it so I can walk around and inspect the camper while it fills.Ideas? Hooks, hangers, adapters?I am open to replacing the entire water fill door- for the right one ;)Thanks!

Can't imagine why you'd bother manually pouring water into the trailer's gravity fill when simply transferring it with a 12 vdc pump is SO much easier. ;)

Don't you have a female hose connection to attach a garden (white one) to fill the tank? If yes, just put the bleach in the hose.Ron

Not really sure what you are after here. I put the hose into my water pipe inlet, and let it rip. While it fills, depending on how much I know it needs, I can take time to walk about, but I listen to the air escaping out the fill tube air vent. When it gets close I hear the change in noise, and pull the hose out without overfilling. The best way to put bleach in seems to be pour the bleach into the fill hose, then let the water into the end of the hose, and propel the bleach out of the hose into your tank.What are you looking to do that is so different?

Sorry for the confusion. Here are some pics, maybe I can explain it better?Here's the setup I have (not my camper)I use a similar vinyl tube with shutoff like in the pic.Two things I want to improve.1. The weight of the drinking water hose pulls down on the tubing and can kink or pull the vinyl tubing out of the fill spout.2. When filling with portable water tanks like Aquatainers, I need a way to attach a funnel to the fill port to pour water into the FW tankNumber 2 above would answer the bleach pouring for sanitizing the tank and water system.Is that a better explanation? :)Thanks!

Here is one idea, but it only answers the pouring issue at the expense of filling with the vinyl tubing on a hose.I'm betting some folks (maybe extended boondockers?) have some interesting methods of filling the tanks with funnels, holders, clips, etc?
