Country Fill Life Hack

Hello All,

What do you do when you are dry camping and you realize you forgot the pickup hose to add water to your rig???? You make stuff up.


Here is my little "life hack" for adding water. Taped a small funnel onto the Jeep bumper and ran it through a hose attachment I had for grabbing water from smooth camp ground spigots. Yes it took a while to add 24 gallons but we got it in and got to stay out for a couple more days.

Hope you all have a great 2020. Maybe this year I'll figure out how to get my pictures to stop flipping over.

Rob

Been there.

I found my exterior shower hose reaches my gravity fill port. I take the head off, shove the hose in.

Go inside, flip the pump valves to winterizing, and pump my water into the fw tank. Works slick, I stay dry, and have a drink, while the pump does the work.

That is pretty slick. No gravity fill on a Greyhawk though...
