    Inexpensive On-Board Water System



    We live out of the back of our 4Runner for days at a time and to make life just a little easier we built this inexpensive on-board water dispensing system. The water tank sits adjacent to our cook stove and allows us easy access to fresh water when we cook. We can also roll down the back window to fill water bottles while we travel.

    Parts List:
    1 Whale 881 submersible pump
    1 Shurflo 94-009-01 faucet
    3' of 3/8"ID tubing
    3/4"NPT-1/2"NPT reducing bushing
    7-gal Reliance Products Jumbo-Tainer
    4' 18ga wire
    1 12V cigarette outlet adapter



    Tools Required:
    Soldering Iron
    Hacksaw
    5/16" drill bit
    Drill
    Dremel Tool

    Finished Product
    Inexpensive on-board water system

    I have to admit I laughed when I first scrolled down through your original post. I was thinking, "Cool, an inexpensive on board water system...." then I saw it, and thought "it's a jug of water...LOL good joke" but then I actually looked at what you had done, and this is a great mod. I really like it!! Great work!

    Thanks guys! I didn't want to spend a ton of money and I wanted something I could move between the 4Runner and my wife's Forester.

    For longer trips I will pack two reliance jugs and just change out the lid/pump.
