How do I haul water to my camper ?

I just got my camper placed on my land. It's too far for any local water ..

I plan on leaving the camper there all year


Am I suppose to haul twelve 5 gallon jugs of water up there every weekend ?

what does everyone else do ? I plan on having a well put in after a few years

  • I have a 25 gal water tank that I put in the back of pickup. Fill with water and use 12v transfer pump.

    Unless you have a Magic Water Machine, anything you do is going to require either the manual labor of transferring the water by hand and/or using large barrels/containers plus some kind of truck/atv/etc to haul it in.

    The only other option would be some kind of pump and piping leading from water source directly to you or a well.

    This is the reason why remote locations are not popular real estate because it takes hard work or lots of money to get water in easily.
  • We have a Friend who Uses a Totewith lid From Walmart, that he Plumbed a 12 Volt Pump into and uses that to fill his. He has had a permenant Lot for years and still uses this method instead of drilling a well. Works great.
  • Couple 55 gal barrels in the back of the pickup and a hand pump or little puddle sucker to transfer.

    Only if you want to do it as cheaply as possible and work your buns off. I had custom tanks made at watertanks.com
