The clear plastic hoses that go on the drill-pump take up some room. Need a place for the thing with the hoses coiled. Also the hoses need to be clean before using with potable water. They can get yucky in storage put away wet. I first ran some boiling water through.
Makes sense that they would need to be sanitized like the water system, and dried out between uses. Thanks for the reminder. Hoping I won't have to do this very often, but it's a distinct possibility.
Been a long time so memory not so good, but ISTR you had to jam the pump end against the side of the trailer or hold it with your other hand so it would not spin.
To get lift, ISTR the water would rise in the inlet hose from the bucket but stall out, so you had to lower the whole thing to get the water into the pump and then raise it so the outlet hose could go in the fill opening. Perhaps a form of "priming", not sure. Vague memory.
Obvious afterwards!, but hose lengths--figure that out before cutting --don't forget the RV might be higher on that side off the ground due to levelling boards under the tires. Of course you can also set the bucket on a folding stool to reduce the lift.
Don't have a cordless drill, but you would need a way to recharge it. ISTR they are one of the things that need a PSW inverter and won't take MSW-not sure.
You will figure it all out once you try it
