We have a TM just like yours, and sometimes dry camp. We use two of those blue, plastic 7 gal 'AquaTainer' jugs for fresh water. These water containers are available at WalMart and other places. We found, however, that pouring full jugs of water into the fresh water receptacle on the side of the TM
a bit awkward at best - especially for one person. We'd wind up spilling too much water even using various types of funnel devices. Anyway, I believe somebody on this forum mentioned using a hand operated 'bilge pump' to transfer water from the containers into the TM. We ordered one on line through REI or Cabela's. It resembles a bicycle tire pump and works pretty well with much less water loss than the pouring method.
