Transferring water while dry camping

[DRSmart]

I’ve been transferring fresh water into our fresh tank while dry camping from 6 gallon water jugs using the onboard pump but it takes about 5 minutes for each jug. I set the Nautilus valves for filling the fresh tank with the internal pump. I’ve also tried using an external pony pump setting the Nautilus for city water. The pony pump providing the pressure. I’d like to use an external pump to speed things up and wondered what others are using. The on board pump is the SHURFLO 4008-101-A65 3.0 GPM Revolution RV Water Pump. There seems to be quite a resistance to my pony pump that I’ve tried and wondered if something like a 5.5gpm 60psi RV pump used externally would be a good way to go.

I looked into this a few years back when the fill on my RV was pressure fill only. Looked at a couple brands that you can just hook up to your drill motor. The current has pressure fill but also a free fill, so if I needed to add water (not sure that I do 95 gallons), I would straight dump through a funnel into the free fill like a gas can.

CDA. Our previous camper had a "free fill". This one doesn't. Water has to go through the Nautilus system with all the valves and 90 degree elbows. This seems to really slow down transfer from an outside pump.

And...what do you do with your gray water while dry camping?

2 - 21 gallon Rhino tanks and a flowjet. About 3 miles drive to the sanitation station where we dry camp.

And the flow jet fills and empties the portables? Pretty nice setup.

The flow jet fills the portables as they sit in the truck bed. When i get to the dump station, I connect a standard RV sewer hose from each tote to the sewer and tilt the portable up. It empties by gravity. I could use the Flojet if needed.
