I think filling your tank should be OK.
There was a programme on TV recently where an official said no-one has ever been proseuted under no hosepipe laws. You may risk a severe finger wagging.
Do you know anyone who has been fined?

Hosepipe ban
A hosepipe ban will take effect for Anglian Water domestic customers from 5 April. This is in direct response to the drought situation. We are taking action today to safeguard water supplies for 2013 and beyond.
Find out if the hosepipe ban applies to you.
What is a hosepipe ban?
A hosepipe ban is exactly that.
A hosepipe can use up to 1,000 litres of water in just one hour, which is more than the average household uses in an entire day!

Use of drip or trickle irrigation watering systems fitted with a pressure reducing valve and a timer, that are not handheld and which place water by drip directly onto the soil surface or beneath the soil surface, without any surface run off or dispersion of water through the air using a jet or mist.

perhaps the water authorities should consider spending a bit more cash on repairing their leaks, I wrote to the water authority last year when rumours were around about a ban and asked if a price reduction was on the cards, it looked promising from there reply, as it happened there wasn't a ban in our area.
I for one will be expecting a price reduction if there is ever a hose pipe ban, I am not paying for something I am not allowed to have.

Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for your email.
You are able to use a hosepipe to fill the water tank in your caravan, motor caravan or boat during the ban without fear of a fine. The use of a hosepipe to facilitate drinking, cooking and toilet water in recreational vehicles such as boats and motor homes is acceptable.
Regards,
Anglian Water Customer Services"
