Tired of lifting water jugs!

[Forester2]

Getting old or maybe just lazy, but lifting 6 gallon water jugs waist high to fill tank was not enjoyable. We mostly camp in areas with no city water hookups so this is a continuos chore. Picked up a 12volt pump and made bracket to mount in storage bay.

Did that too, only I had the 40 gal water bladder. Really makes life easier that way.

I have a cheater way of doing something similar. I put the winterize hose into the water jug and set the valves appropriately, go outside and take the shower head off the outdoor shower and stick the bare hose in the city fill inlet. Turn on the pump and presto, pumps the water into the holding tank. This is easier if the hoses are well placed; my winterize is inside so a bit of running in and out, easier for TTs that have all the connections close together.

I'd like to claim this trick as my own, but like most good tips I saw it here on JOF.

This is exactly what I do!
