Would anyone be interested in an onboard water setup that doesnt require pressurizing a container with limited water?

I designed a system for my rig that uses a 12v water pump from an rv or boat and has quick disconnects so you essentially have real time on demand pressurized water feom any source. Mine plugs into retrofitted Rotopax but the pick up line can feed off any source (jerry can, bucket, 5 gallon jug, or even free standing lake or stream water). It provides a 20ft coil hose and garden nozel with mutliple spray patterns. I use it for camp dishes, showering, cleaning off after the beach, washing hands, and everything else you can think of. The entire setup including pump, hose, sprayer and all tubing fits in the storage compartment in the bed of the truck and sets up instantly. No more bulky homemade pressurized PVC tanks or expensive Waterport type products. No need for a air compressor or worrying about losing pressure. Here is a quick pic with it all set up. I am currently testing differnt brand pumps to determine the best gallon per minute flow rate and PSI cutoff switch to use as well as what brand is the quietest and most power efficient. Going to build premade kits for self install that will be less than $200. Guaging interest to see if the overlanders like myself would purchase a kit like this?

I'd probably be in at a later time.

Awesome to see that there is interest. This project was on the backburner for awhile and several months out but with the feedback i have recieved on social media and here, ill put this back into motion and should hopefully have a package or 2 within a few weeks. Ill keep everyone update as it goes then

Is this going to be an enclosed unit? Meaning basically a box you plug in and connect hoses?

BYJOSHCOOK · Aug 20, 2016

It can be used with a huge Jerry can right? That's what I'd attach it to

@ProForce

Any ballpark estimate on pricing?

Dirty Pool · Aug 20, 2016

More old stuff.

I get a kick out of mentally reconstructing the old mine camps and machinery. This old gas engine was very intriguing as to what was what, how and why.

It was "Unit 61", probably had lots of bugs.

Mine camp wild flower.

20 feet of snow takes it's toll over the years.

Yellow bellied marmot or "whistle pig" keeping an eye on things.

Fairly complete rock crusher.

Don't have the time to special order that cast iron pulley? Call the carpenters.

Awesome stuff! One of the things I'm really looking forward to once my truck is back up and running is checking out all of the old mining stuff around here. I drove from Idaho Springs to Central City and there was a ton of old mine sites along the way. Gotta get back up there.

I'm interested also

This mill was apparently a "kit", put together by the numbers up at 11K feet.
Reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn......"fortunately I keep my feathers numbered"

If scooping up nuggets feels like too much work, just fill in the blanks.

I'd be interested. My wife has mentioned a few times that she'd like the ability to take a shower when we're out.
