Somewhere I saw a Bladder that one put on top of the TV, filled with water and it had a hose that went to the fill port. I believe it was 20 or 40 gal.

We have a 7-gallon, Reliance Aqua-Tainer (about $15) that I think we bought at Walmart. After fiddling with cut-off plastic bottles, funnels, etc., with little success, and most of the water on my pants, shoes and the ground instead of in the freshwater tank, I took the cap/spout (see below) to Ace Hardware and purchased some clear, heavy-duty plastic tubing (suitable for drinking water) that fits up inside the spigot. I got 6-8 feet, but the length you'll need is dependent on the distance between the water container and the freshwater fill port.

Cut a notch in one end of the plastic tubing to match the ON/OFF hole inside the rotating plastic valve portion of the spigot. Then, push the tubing fully up inside the spigot nozzle.

When properly installed, water should flow through the tubing when the "faucet" is turned ON.

We place the Aqua-Tainer on top of the propane tank cover, which is above the level of the freshwater fill port; so the water in the container drains by gravity. However, use care not to damage the propane cover; because 7-gallons of water are heavy.

Boondocking, ran out of water, took every available container in the back of my pickup to a local fill. Washed and rinsed containers, then filled them, but kept water in the supply hose, and screwed the ends together when done filling containers. Drove back to camp, spilling about 1/2 of water out the back of my truck. Siphoned water from the various containers into my tank. For about an hour.....
I still use the siphon technique, but I have 3 X 7 gal water containers to help refill tanks.
