I was always having a hard time holding up my 5-gal jeri can when filling my off-road Popup fresh water tank. Seems like it would take forever to empty the 5-gallons haha... We always like to camp off-grid with no city water hookups.

I finally rigged up a 12VDC water pump for boats from WALMART and now all I do is stick a tube down into the jeri can and it empties into the fresh water tank in a breeze now...

Or you could have added a tee and a check valve and drawn the water in with the current pump, wiring and switch. Nothing to store, simple and cheap.

If you have an outside shower you can just draw water out of a Jerry can using the winterize suction hose (set valve like you're putting in antifreeze) and stick the outside shower in the water fill opening.
