We do the same. There is 12VDC available at the rear trailer jack at the back of our rig and I made made up a plug for the pump and just plug it in there. You can by hose bib adapters at any decent home supply (ie Home Depot) that will allow you to connect a hose at the input and output of the pump.

We use ours as a booster pump when camping in Mexico as usually the water pressure there is less than adequate. It can take hours to fill the tank from some of the gravity feed systems there.

This works great !

I know you said 120v, but I'm using this one with a cheap Harbor Freight one as a backup.

Just what type of setup are you running?

My favorite small 120 volt pump is a Little Giant Mag Drive pump. No seals to leak. Mine has been in service for over 20 years. A little pricey.

Get same as your RV. Then you have a portable and a spare.

Any 12v water pump should do.
