Don't try to click on the url, it's too long.  Copy it into memory, paste it
into you browser and be sure to add that second line to the end.

Imagine a water "bed" seat.  Each holds 3.75 gallons and is of
course quite comfortable.  They have one drawback.  Filling is
through the twist closed valve on the inflation hose only.  It
takes a very long time to get completely topped up, even from a
faucet.  What is needed is some sort of rubber hose and funnel

I have a couple of them.  At 2.5 gallons they fit just about anywhere, even
behind my seat.  With a nylon cover, they can take a lot of abuse.  You can
hang them off a tree stub and just press the spigot.  The spigot comes out
and you can stick the bag under a faucet or hose.  It doesn't leak (under
normal use).  You may need a small pair of pliars to get the spigot out.
There are also replacement parts.

I know they must be sold elsewhere, but Campmor is the only place I've
noticed them.

These really are great! I use them in the house, the camper and the kayaks.

Be sure to get the shower attachment too.  It has an excellent shower head
with builtin valve.  If you get bags with a dark color nylon cover (they
come in a variety of colors), you have a solar shower.
