My wife and I boon-dock 100% of our camping time, and our most limiting resource is fresh water due to the small tank in the trailer. We supplement our storage with 7-gallon Reliance water containers, but it's so frustrating to try to fill the freshwater tank with a generic funnel. Today, I finally got around to making my own. The pics below probably describe it the best, but I assembled 1/2″ PVC parts easily available at the local hardware store, and I spent less than $5. I'd imagine that the parts could be just pushed together and not cemented, but I had some on hand so I went ahead and sealed them together. I also cut an angle out of the top piece with the Dremel, but that also probably isn't completely necessary.
  
Happy camping!

Julie -
Yes, it stays in pretty good. The longer stem piece going into the tank kind of pushes up against the flexible tube that connects to the tank and holds it in place. I'm interested to see other ideas people have…I'm sure the idea can be improved in ways like you mentioned.

I use a SuperSiphon from Lee Valley Tools (12.95). I have two portable tables that I stack one on the other and then place my 7 gal Reliance jug. I use the siphon to move the water with no sweat or waste at all. I find I need to top up at least once a day, so this really saves effort.
