Alternative Water Fill

That's a good idea .

I got this idea from the guys at CampInn years ago...

Anything is a huge improvement over trying to fill that tank with a plain old hose!

This is interesting. Do you thread this on to the fill spout? How do you deal with the retaining chain on the removable cap? Or did you remove the chain?

I’ve been using one of these Camco RV water tank filler adapters paired with an RV water filter. Cuts down on the spillage but it still requires manual holding. The hose is too heavy to be left hanging.

We’ve been using the same filler from the start of our CI adventure… but mostly in our driveway! With our camco hose on full blast it’s a matter of a few minutes.

We’re fortunate with very good water in almost all of the USFS campgrounds we hit in the NW, which has been almost all of our camping. No need for filtering. On the other hand, in one of the best locations the water system was failing and was not being fixed/maintained.

It’s in the plan to add water filtering when we’re free for longer trips out of our regular routes…

That's really clever :) I'm thinking about tapping in a hot/cold water spigot in the garage for washing with soft water. Something like this might make sense if I am a "somewhat dedicated" water supply. Right now, I'm crawling behind a rose bush....holding the hose is the least of my worries :)

I've thought about using the quick connect hose, then running a plastic tube from the "shower" connector into the fill --- but to be honest, it takes so little time to fill the tanks I'm not sure its worth the effort.
