Making an Electric Water Jug for Car Camping, Vanlife & Overlanding! [VIDEO]

August 9, 2022VideosTristan

In this video I show you how I made an electric water jug for my SUV camping adventures using a Reliance water jug (mini jerry can) and a rechargeable USB pump. It makes refilling smaller water bottles and other assorted camp tasks much easier! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

► I got the idea from this video.

COMPONENTS
* 2.5 gallon Reliance Water-Pak jug (Amazon)
* Here’s the same thing on the Reliance website
* If you want a 4 gallon jug, here you go
* The electric pump I bought
* The extra spigot/cap
* Mini bungee cords (Walmart)
* I think these mini bungees from Amazon would also work
