Make sure it is white and approved for drinking water. I've also read they are fragile.

Its rare that I get a site with a water hookup (Provincial parks don't have 'em), so I usually fill up at the sanitary station, or stop at a campground spigot and use a http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/water-thief/4690 - water thief , http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/good-sam-4-hook-up-hose/49173 - short length of hose and a http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/water-tank-filler-with-shut-off-valve/4674 - tank filler .

But, for those times when water is handy on-site, or very unhandy offsite (e.g. in late fall after the campground spigots have been shutoff to prevent freezing and the only available water is in the bathhouse) I have a http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/handi-hose-50/1646 - 50' collapsible hose that is very handy and coils very small for storage.
