How can I fill my tank?

[Denny and Angie Miller]

I have a 2017 Montana HC 353RL. How do I fill my potable water tank if there is no water spigot near by? My old 2004 Cougar had a fill connection that I could pour a 6 gallon jug into. This unit only has a garden hose connection to fill from

That's true. Some folks have rigged a water pump to pump from a water bladder.

A frequent question here. Do a Search on "water fill" or such and there will be lots of discussion, Here are a few samples.

Many thanks to Carl n Susan. Using the shower connection was ultimately my solution...I had tried previously using a 6 gallon water jug through the winterizing connection, but couldn't figure out why I couldn't get from that to the water tank. I didn't know the winterizing connection only fed the faucets and not the whole system. For anyone else, here are some pics of what worked best for me.

That’s neat to know. We have a built in pump. How cool is that!!

Very helpful - good pictures - makes it all clear. Thanks

And I already have the hoses that I use for winterizing. Plus quick connects to make it fast and easy. I do plan to make a pvc stinger for bucket though so hose won’t coil up and not reach bottom. Store it all in bucket with lid and I’m set for refills and winterizing!!
