Homie, you can actually put a vented fitting in the top threaded connection opposite your fill tube. Great video!

[@EddieAtLarge]

Thanks for the suggestion! I was wondering about doing something like that, but, thought it would leak when the water sloshed around while driving. Thoughts on that?

[@rv2travel]

@@EddieAtLargemaybe a check valve?

thats cool homie, we have been useing a 50 gallon plastic drum for years with the same pump, we use the black irrigation plastic tubing. your way is way more permanent and fits so nice in the bed of your truck. since watching your channel i have used a few of your tips. if you remember back when you repaired your awning with gorilla tape , i did the same and still nave the same awning material doing good till this day. lol keep up the great videos Ed.

[@EddieAtLarge]

Great to hear Rob! Glad the awning repair tip helped you out as well. Ya, we love the truck tank. So convenient now to always have it there and ready when we need it and so much easier than what we were doing. Hoping this gives you an idea as well for your situation. Like I said, they make those tanks in so many different shapes and sizes that you should be able to find something that fits your needs if you decide to go this route. Cheers and safe travels Rob!

Great application. For those unable (or unwilling) to get a large truck mounted tank, you could combine your old method with this one. Keep using your Wolverine type containers, and just use a bucket or similar container. Pour the Wolverine into the bucket, and then use the pump to get the water into the RV.. that way you aren’t wrestling with a heavy container. Now, this would take more work and more trips, but if someone is the type of boondocker that needs more fresh water, but not a BUNCH more fresh water, three or four 5-gallon Wolverine type containers with a pump might be the in-between solution. Very good video, thanks.

[@EddieAtLarge]

Good idea! You can also get adapters from Wolverine that will allow you to hook up a hose to the bag. Turn the bag on its side and let the pump go to work. That would eliminate the bucket. Happy & safe travels! ✌🏻

I’ve had a similar 40 gallon tank in the back of my truck for 4 years now. I have a 3 foot long 3/8 clear hose on top for constant ventilation. I also have a large fill opening that allows me to put the hose all the way in to tank. The biggest difference is I don’t use a pump. The tank gravity feeds into my fresh water fill inlet on my trailer. Used this several dozen times last year.

Great video and idea for water needs! It's good to see you sharing videos. Safe travels.😊

[@EddieAtLarge]

Thanks Michelle, happy to share! Hope you’re doing well and enjoying summer!

[@michelleekins1406]

@EddieAtLarge driveway surfing this summer. The truck is still broken. We're trying a new place, crossing our fingers.

[@EddieAtLarge]

@michelleekins1406 Aww, bummer. Wishing you luck! 🤞🏻

[@dancoleman1269]

Good one. Thanks!!

[@dave2431]

Thanks for the insights. Very useful!

[@EddieAtLarge]

You’re most welcome Dave! 👍🏻

[@camperbum]

I have a cordless drill and a hose pump, drop one end into the water container and then take the other end into the fill tank, pice of cake.

[@EddieAtLarge]

Cool. Never seen a drill powered hose pump. Will check it out. 👍🏻

@@EddieAtLarge I got it from Amazon, I'll see if I can find it.
