Well I have been thinking, looking, and trying to see what will fit where. Got me thinking maybe I was over complicating it. The times I think I would want extra water/ possible shower/ washing water would be the same times I have my canopy on. I just,sold my 05 Alpenlite camper. We are now back to tenting it. The times I can see I would want to be able to rinse/ wash would be hunt camp, clam digging, fishing, and when camping. All,of which the canopy will be on.
So I got to thinking, " I need to make this simple". I want to use the RV water pump I have. So this is what I'm thinking now. Please tell me what you think.
As you see below, I have a 7 gallon water jug( painted red for another purpose other than fuel) sitting on top of my shelf I built. You can see the pump under.
I will secure the jug to the shelf, then mount the pump under the shelf, and connect the two with some hose. I will then run a line/ pipe under the bed rail to the tailgate area, and put on a quick connect of some sort for a small hose.
Near the fire extinguisher I already have power and ground for the canopy light, as well as a double cigarette lighter style plug in.
In this area I am thinking I will make a board that will have my direct line from battery, to a fuse block. From this I will send power to the canopy, the lighter plugs, and a line to the pump. I am also looking onto putting in some LED lights for better night lights. I will also connect my 400w inverter here.
As you can see here, I have side wing windows. From here it looks like I wii be able to get the jug in and out quite easily for refilling, or removing.
