OK, since we are talking about water and water storage, I got another question. Our camper is set up on a lake lot, we are not planning on traveling with it, it just sits there for a weekend place. We are going to have a well dug for water. We are also going to have an inground holding tank for black and grey water. Problem is, funds are running low. With getting the camper, and the lots, and the toys, and the electric, and everything else, well, Im sure you know how it goes.... Anyway, we are thinking we can do either the holding tank or the well this year, and the other one next year. We have decided we would rather haul fresh water in than bad water out! So, this year the holding tank, next year the well.

We have also seen those big white plastic 275 gallon totes. So, now we are thinking about a set up like that for fresh water till next year. We can get free water from the camp ground. Thinking about getting one of those, strapping it to a small trailer, filling it with water, and pumping it in to the camper. So the real question is, after all of this, what kind of pump should we get?

I went to my favorite toy/parts store and found this one: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...9074_200249074

Then somebody said try the place where we got the camper from. So, then I found this one from them:http://www.mwrvcenter.com/rvparts/ch...er-Pump-868298

Now, they both do basicly the same job, but one has a lot higher GPM rating. Im thinking more gallons per minute would be better, but though I would run it by the experts here first. Or does anybody have any better ideas? Or thoughts?

Also, sorry for the long post, I know some people dont like that. I just feel like the more you know about what Im doing/thinking, the better it is for you to understand/help me.
