Watch that weight loaded though it can really upset things.
When we had 5th wheels I just picked up a used food grade barrel, put a valve on it adapted it to a hose fitting and pumped water with a 12 volt pump from the bed of the truck to the tank. That way the trailer stayed put.
I agree with Ken, remember that water weighs 8 pounds per gallon. A mere 5 gallons is an additional 40 pounds.
