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...

I made some from a shop mat and a porch mat from tru valu hardware. Used grommets (harbor frieght has cheep kit) and stainless springs from amazon.

I am posting this here only because the product review was done by a Lance owner. Although the YouTube was posted in 2020. Harbor Freight just embedded the video in there advertising email sent a couple days ago. I am not endorsing the product; just nice seeing a Lance TT in the background.

I think the one I bought at Harbor Freight was labeled "jiggle pump".

My Harbor Freight 2000w Predator will run my A/C at 6,800' since I added the MicroAir Easy Start. It's been 3 years. No problems yet. 300+ hours on the generator. So any 2000w+ should be satisfactory. I made a cable from the twist 30a connector to a standard 115/15a plug using a 10ga extension cord. Much easier to handle vs the heavy 30a power cable with the RV plug. I can also run lights and the TV with my Dish Tailgater using a small inverter. Hope this helps.

Thanks for feed back. Going with a beefier generator. Heard Harbor Frieghtvmentioned few times 8n forum. Really appreciate all the great advice. Take care and Keep Camping!

Yes, that HF 3500 watt Predator gen just works. Yeah, it works great until asked to perform in hot environs. I've personally witnessed two that overheated and couldn't handle a 13.5k A/C unit and that was all that was asked of it. The internet also finds many complaints in this regard. It's unfortunate...such hope and promise. Bottom line is again..."ya get what you pay for".

I have several friends who tried them. They worked fine until put to real use. They consider them throw away 100 hour generators. In my mind they are pure junk with no parts or service support. But then I think that of everything HF sells. Honda is the way to go. If I didn't want to go Honda I'd go Yamaha and then Champion.
