Looking for water carrying ideas

[fzsk4p]

Here is a work in progress shot of my off road trailer

Looking for some ideas on a water system. Could be as simple as a couple 5 gallon jugs with a 12 volt submersible pump to ??

Thus far the pumps I`ve found are all larger then the 1.375 opening in the jugs.

How did you do yours ?

Thanks !!

if there is more to the top, maybe you can make something gravity fed instead so you don't have to deal with supplemental power.

I have an aluminum gas tank that I thought would make a good water tank. http://www.dansperformanceparts.com/buggy/fuel/buggyfuel1.htm I was also thinking I could use a burner and heat it if I wanted to. I see them for around $50 on CL all the time.

Not a bad idea. :elkgrin:

Yes there is more to the top. Currently in process of adding detachable Unistrut "wings" to the current cross bars. The main top is 48 x 60. Adding a 24 x 60 extension to both sides. This will give me a full 8 x 6 top to mount a freestanding tent.

Hopefully will have pictures next week.

In any case the gravity feed might just be the ticket, thanks !!

Hmm, an end fill tank might fit well in front of the fenders. Kinda pricey but another good idea. Betcha some searching might turn up a plastic version......

Tie them together with a T fitting and a length of hose. External pump and be good to go.......

Found this on a quick look

Scroll down on the link, there are some poly tanks that are a lot cheaper. These would work well for a gravity fed setup. the petcock is on the bottom.

Bingo,
I use one of the Coleman Expo kitchens. Just need to be sure the tanks would be higher then the sink. Don`t need pressure, just flow.

Tape measure time !!

Thanks !!
