Fresh water tank
We are just a bit short on freshwater for our typical weekend trip. I have a small wheeld 5 gal (or 8?) tank. Even that one is cumbersome to lift up, hold while slowly draining into the campers fresh...

we dry camp a lot and often need more water. Solution:
1) install a second water pump in the pass through plumbed to the fresh water inlet with a long extension and dip tube on the inlet side and a power switch
Not clear about 'pass through plumbed to fresh water inlet': where is this 'pass through' running to/from? Where do I find it?
Or are you saying tap (T or Y) into the filler line and run a 2nd pump, discharge INTO the filler line and run long suction hose from the 2nd pump out/down to reach the 7 gal?
to clarify. yes, the output of the second water pump is T'd into the fresh water fill pipe and yes then a long suction hose attached to a stainless steel "dip tube" that I stick in the vent side of the blue fresh water tank.
If you don't want to or can't T into the fresh water inlet, you can run the pump outlet through a flexible outlet hose and stuff it into the fresh water inlet of the trailer as well.
