Plus, I added an accumulator tank to let us get pressurized water without the pump cycling on everytime we opened a tap, especially on night runs.:W Cheers, Kevin Re: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & GizmosWell, in an effort to "bump" this thread and offer some useful ideas, here's one that I came up with for storage of the sewer drain line. Got some 6" pvc pipe (perforated), one end cap and one screw on, removeable cap. Tucked it up under the trailer and voila! that smelly thing can stay "outside" and not rust the bumper's insides or smell up the storage hold. It's securely fastened with gear clamps to the frame. Here's a couple of pics for you all. Cheers! KevinRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos berkleyebony wrote: We have a fiver and I can never remember the hieght when pulling into gas stations. I measured the hieght and used a small label maker. I then placed it on the dashboard. I just have to glance down when ever I am not sure and don't have to worry about losing the top of my fiver. Also wanted to caution about the 3m command hooks. The walls of the trailers are made of a laminated board. We had a couple of hooks pull the top coat (like wallpaper) off and it left a big bubble. Luckily it didn't tear and I could repair it. Just a word of caution. ================================================= Yep, I concur. When in doubt, check it out. Otherwise... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHEzqK_Ezd0&feature=player_embedded Ouch. That's gotta hurt.Re: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos welsteach wrote: Okay, now tell me its name and where you got that handy little pump. My hubby hates the electric pump we have. Here's the link to the pump's manufacturer. Once you have that info you can probably call around to auto parts or marine supply stores. It's also commonly used to pump water out of boat holds or transfer liquids in the auto biz. http://www.wolfcraft.com/product_detail.cfm?id=24 I bought mine a few years ago at Canadian Tire in where else? Canada. However, NAPA or similar companies should be able to track it down for you. It works great. Happy hunting. Cheers, Kevin:CRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & GizmosThis little pump on the end of drill transfers water in a heck of a hurry. Beats juggling 50 pound of water, getting wet shoes and doing the mosquitoe dance at the same time.
