Maybe it's my Scottish heritage, and I'm just too cheap to have a key made, and it might sound like a pain, but I've never had a water tank key, so I have always just filled my water tank up from the inside. All you Westy folks know about that don't you? Now that I've done it this way a bunch of times, I have grown to like it. Opening and filling through the big screw top (accessed through the farthest rear hatch under the dining room table) allows me to: 1. Admire my new pump. 2. Check for floaties, mildew or other grossness. 3. Rinse out the tank. 4. Relax inside the van while filling.
