Bringing extra fresh water.

I bought an inexpensive submersible pump, attached a piece of PVC and about 25 ft of hose to the PVC.

I have two of these 15 gallon barrels and carry them on my ATV trailer.

I bought this $10 12v battery off eBay to run the pump.

Fresh water transfer pump.

If I take both barrels with me plus what the FW tank holds it gives me 70 gallons of fresh water.

I have several of these 25 and 50 gallon barrels I use for extra water with whatever RV I have at the time and extended stays..I use one at home also for that, oops the water went out moment..

I always do a bleach rinse before filling for use..

What do you do with the extra water or is your freshwatr tank small? I’m lucky. My tank is 60 gallons.

Those batteries cost $15 new at Walmart. Free delivery.

I've been doing this for years.
I guess if you're sloppy or an idiot there would be a risk for contamination.
