Filling 2018 3790RD water tank by hand.

Currently residing in RV Park suffering from a broken water line. I have jerry cans to carry fresh water to my site. Need your help to finish the job of putting it in the tank.
I've used the power fill, but that option is not available. Apparently, no fill tube exists. Any help appreciated.

I have a 12 volt water pump I bought from harbor freight that I hook to city water connect then turn on tank fill and pump to my fresh water tank.

IF you have a winterizing connection, you can connect the winterizing connection to your jerry cans. IF you have an outside shower, connect a hose from your shower to your garden hose fill port. Turn on your water pump. It will pump the water (like it would RV antifreeze) to your outside shower, just like you would if you were winterizing. From the shower, it's pumped back into the trailer from the fill port and in your fresh water tank. Once you've added your water, disconnect the Antifreeze line. Flip everything back to normal use, and you are good to go.

What Dutchman said.
You may have to put 2 washers in the winterizing port to make a good air tight seal.
Also elevating your water carrier above the winterizing port may help prime the pump.

Harbor freight has a battery powered pump that works fairly well. Runs on 2 d cells.
I pump it into the trailer through the overflow vent
