There are numerous DIY solutions that have been posted and on YouTube. Typically it is a 4" ABS pipe with a fill on top and a spigot of some sort on one end and then a schrader valve to pressurize with air pressure. Then the pipe is mounted to a roof rack.
1. Is there an optimum location for the schrader valve? It would seem that the best place would be higher than the water so water doesn't back feed into your air hose.
2. What is the best way to ensure all the water can be used from the pipe? Am I correct that the water needs to naturally flow (ie gravity) to the spigot in order to make use of all of the water? For example if the pipe is mounted level on the roof rack and the spigot is in the rear, but the truck is parked downhill (front of truck facing downhill) you won't get much water out before it is only air.
If this is accurate, what are some of the solutions to ensure all the water can be used?
