A little trick I like to do to maximize the amount of water uplifted into the fresh tank is fill the hot water heater and purge all the lines of air while I'm at the fill station. Otherwise 6+ gallons of your fresh tank get used just to fill the plumbing system, and once the remaining water in the fresh tank gets used up, that 6+ gallons is unusable through fixtures (needs more water to replace it).
1.) Park at fill station and begin filling tank
2.) Open pressure relief valve on water heater
3.) When fresh tank reads 1/3 or more, turn on pump
4.) Water begins filling water heater, air escapes through pressure relief valve, once water begins pouring out of pressure relief valve the tank is full, close relief valve
5.) Turn on all taps (one by one) until water runs smoothly with no air pockets (outdoor shower purges most of the air and doesn't fill your grey tank up)
6.) Top off your fresh tank until water runs out the overflow tubes and you're done!
