I can only guess at this time that it starts a siphon without the old fashioned method of lip suction. I'll have to pass on this one too.

Question - If the jerrycan is sitting on the ground is this siphon strong enough to transfer the water uphill into the trailer/camper? I currently have (15 years now) and use a drill-powered fresh water transfer pump. It transfers 6.5 gallons in seconds.

It will not siphon uphill. Like any siphon, it needs to be lower than liquid being siphoned. I used it with a 7 gal water container shown here when my back went out and I could not lift it. I use it all the time to empty a 55 gal drum of water into my cabin cistern in about 10 minutes. when I draw water out of the stream, I find a place that is at least level with the water and have no problems pulling it. I have also used it to siphon gasoline from my truck to a container for my lawn mower.

Thank you for the answer Dan. That won't work for us, but glad that it does for you.

As of today, June 27, 2016, the link K: http://www.geniusclearwater.com/ seems to be down. The filter review was very good.

After experiencing my first tire blow out which caused $4500 in damage to my truck, I was in a fairly emotional state and willing to spend some money. During the process of changing to my under inflated spare, I discovered my current tire inflator was inadequate. I went shopping for a better one and decided on the VIAIR 400P Automatic. Automatic meaning it has a pressure switch and shuts itself off after the air hose is pressurized. The unit comes with a coiled air hose, a nice tire inflator...

UPDATE 9/8/16: Appears to have gone out of business... We have had the opportunity this summer to try out two new filtration products from Genius Clear Water Systems: WaterShield In-line Filter , an in-line ceramic fresh-water supply filter with strainer and the WaterShield Ceramic Element Showerhead with built-in ceramic filter and strainer. These can be used in our RVs while camping and also at home in domestic applications such as filtering the drinking water supply and for...

A simple tool I have used for over 20 years that should be in everyone's water supply tool kit. I have primarily used this to transfer water from my 55gal water drums to my cistern at my cabin, but have also used it to pull water from stream/river pools and lake water to use for boiling wash water. If you don't have one, I highly recommend spending a couple bucks and just toss it in the "I'll be glad I have it when I need it" stack of stuff. It's one of those simple things you hope the guy...
