    It's simple and fairly cheap. It has lasted me a few years now.

    I pulled together the @MrGrimm pressurized water system about six months ago and it works quite nicely. On occasion I've overfilled it with air and the Scepter MWC will start looking a little bloated and tend to get pushy with neighboring MFC in my dual can carrier.

    I have onboard air that I use to pressurize, but I seem to have to add air frequently even though there are no leaks in the system. I guess I'm just a frequent user of water.

    I did order and receive a Worx Hydroshot portable power spray thingy from Amazon. It's powered by a 20 v Li-Ion battery and is rated for up to 300 PSI. All you have to do is insert the hose into any water supply and press the trigger and out comes a nice pressurized water spray. Good for showers, washing dishes, etc.

    I used it camping a few weekends ago at Rausch Creek off road park. I just pulled the cap off my black MWC and stuck in the intake hose and I was in business. I like it.

    I'm due to receive the bottle cap accessory, where you can attach to the intake of the sprayer and voila... you have a portable pressure water system.

    I think @cynicalrider saw my 20v sprayer contraption during the Toyota Takeover. I believed he chuckled when he thought I brought it to power wash my truck :)

    I'm likely going to retain this 20v sprayer because I could think of so many uses for it at camp and on the trail. I'll keep the air-pressurized on-board water system as my backup. Water supply will still be from the same black Scepter MWC.

    FWIW I'm actually building the pressurized Jerry like @MrGrimm after I saw Chux do it.

    Through all the options I've seen, the best one for me I'm planning right now is taking advantage of power in the bed (adding a 12v outlet to bed) and use an inexpensive 12v RV water pressure pump. Most flexible and versatile imo.

    I plan on putting the pump, fittings (source and pressurized output) and electrical into a box (possibly an ammo box if it will fit) which will mount to bed rails. I want it modular so it can be take out when not needed and keep if off the bed floor. Then use any size container for water I want/need.

    With quick release fittings you could make a number of different hoses. A couple options for water source such as ones for a water can, tote and even extra long one for directly into a creek. Also a number of hoses for output - coiled garden hose and sprayer, mounted shower, camp sink.

    For the pump, I'm looking at something like this:
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WYMC492/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_.1DKzbN3MTNKP

    For 12v bed power, I'm looking at something like this mounted just above 110v outlet.

    Yes, it's nice but for me, only needing something for a fraction of time I use the truck doesn't make sense to have it permanent.

    Have a picture with the plumbing? I'm trying to figure out something very similar. I have a 35-gallon tank, a SHURFLO 4008-101-E65, and a 12V 7-amp battery but not sure how to get it all working properly. Feeding the water into a gas-powered pressure washer (not self-priming) for mobile detailing.
