Mr. Squirrel,

You and others working with the business end of a garden hose might want to know about a gadget available through just about any RV outlet, maybe even RV sections of discount stores. It's just made for filling an outlet like the westy's. It's plastic, with a shutoff valve at the base and a foot-long clear plastic tube that just fits into the filler hole. It makes filling that tank a one-person operation.
