"electric power to the water line" What does that mean? Heat tape?
I will be running a 75 foot electrical heated water hose. (a 50 foot connected to a 25 foot water hose).
Consider instead to fill your existing on-board fresh water tank and the 12v pump will supply you with water. Connect hose only to refill and then remove for the day.
