I have a few ways to fill my 20 gallon tank depending on the length of stay or other conditions. For outings that I expect to fill the tank more than three times I have a SurFlow that I mount next to the filler cap and the suction hose is like 3' long that attaches to a 3/4" PVC pipe about 2' long. I fill up the 6 gallon jugs and carry them to the trailer, put them on the ground and then stick the PVC pipe into the water jug. The output of the pump goes into the filler cap of the trailer.

But here is the other method Bill might be interested in. Camp World sells that 40 gallon water bladder thing that looks like a mini water bed. I put that on top of the truck and just run a white hose to the TrailManor filler cap. Most times the height of the bladder is higher than the filler cap and I let gravity just fill up the tank. Most times I do this without standing there and do inside things like getting dinner ready. I watch the water tank level from the inside.
