Simple And Useful Water Jug Hack for Off-Grid Van Life

#vanlife #relainceaquatainer #offgrid
We added a new bulkhead fitting to each of our 3 fresh water jugs that we use for our water system to make them more useful. Here is how we did it. You can purchase the parts we used in this video with the links below.

Do you have a video on how you set up the reliance jugs original fitting to your pump??

[@freelyroaming]

Not yet but I should!

You could use a step or uni bit and cut the hole with a drill motor and maybe hold upside down to prevent shavings and or use a vacuum cleaner on blow to put in the main spout and force air out while you work...

[@thekhakihat3233]

To avoid shavings in the jug you could use a hot knife to melt/cut the whole (something disposable since you will ruin the hardening and probably leave melted plastic on the blade). Propane/butane/candle to heat.

[@freelyroaming]

Good idea. I didn't think any heating up a blade. But yeah, it would be sacrificed for the job....

[@seandeyoung01]

Great video. I have ordered the parts you listed. Do you have a video on how you hooked up you water jugs to your tubing and sink/faucet?

[@TrailoFire]

Very creative thinking. Thanks for the info, cool content!!!

[@greggorystevens2637]

Genius way of fishing that through. Brilliant.

[@freelyroaming]

Thanks

[@u157750]

Super helpful. I’ve been taking my jug out every time for scenario#2. It always gets wet in the cabinet either from plopping it down full or from putting the cap/hose back in. Thanks!

[@freelyroaming]

yes me too! I have to always remember to lay down a kitchen towel so catch any drips. This has been a really nice little mod for us.

[@Junior-fs1lb]

Hi great tip.

[@raymondfluharty8877]

use a drill and holesaw the size you need

[@seelafever]

So helpful, thank you for posting. Now I can fill without removing the tank.

[@freelyroaming]

You're welcome. It has been really helpful for us and we use it everyday. We use 2 10-liter jugs to fill and it tops it off perfectly without overflowing.

Hole saw on a drill

[@robhandyman2212]

Nice video guy..question I'm a truck driver in the process of a pop up shower. I have the 7 gallon tank but I need to lay down sideways to fit under my truck ..do you think it would work to put that fitting on the side?

[@fulmoonn]

Do you have a link or recommendation to the portable pump? Thank you!

[@freelyroaming]

this is the one we use. amzn.to/3dSHi8U

[@5mjc]

Get a round piece of pipe same diameter and heat it so hot then press into plastic and it might melt through ,might work.or at least make a start for the hole.

[@jenlb78]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

[@freelyroaming]

I knew someone would benefit from us showing this hack 😁

[@TamponTea]

Also check out stainless steel milk pails on ebay. 16gal $115

[@JanetelizabethLLC]

Great idea! I would try cutting the hole with a soldering iron.

[@alaysiakayebutler6299]

Good MAN!! This is fantastic.

[@fefeb9186]
