First of all -- thank you ALL for you contributions to this thread. What GREAT ideas you all have!
Now I want to show you what my DH made. It's a manual water pump. I'll start right off saying -- it's dirty. :)
Dh took a 2 gallon spray container -- used for spraying bug spray. He bought it at Walmart. He painted it black so it would attract the sun and warm the water inside. He cut the metal wand off (the part you use to spray with) and attached a sink sprayer (the kind used in the kitchen). This manual pump spray is great for camping. He's used it for showering when he's camped out in the middle of nowhere. We've also keep it outside of the 5er, with a towel and soap nearby. INVALUABLE for when the grandchildren camp with us ----- they can wash hands and feet without messing up our 5er!!!!
