Can someone suggest a multi-gallon water container that has some kind of spout that fits in the FWC water port? I like to refill at springs occasionally and the one I have now is almost impossible to get at the right angle to pour into the FWC port.

Maybe a simple funnel (a big a$$ one) would solve your problem? Just thinkin outside the box a little.

What size is the water port (I don't have a rig yet)? Could you just stick some plastic tubing (such as you can pick up from home depot, etc.) over the spout of one of these collapsable water jugs http://www.rei.com/product/708992 and then just stick the tube into the port? Could set the jug on top of the camper to gravity drain it...

Guys, don't work so hard.
Get a foldable bucket, a super siphon, let gravity do the work......

That's basically what I was getting at but just using regular tubing off the spigot & gravity.

One time i had to fill the tank on the road. I didn't have anything so I used a 1 gallon water jug to hold the water and a 20 oz plastic soda bottle cut into a funnel to pour the water into.
Now i just keep a funnel in the camper. to help make the angle better i heated the funnel and reshaped it so that it turns up more.
