Re: [A/S] Restoration 60's
Roy,
I use a very small 12-volt pump from Micro Mart (sorry, no URL, I found
it in a catalog) to transfer the water from my 25-gallon sprayer tank to
the trailer. It takes about 15 minutes to move the whole tankful; I
connect the pump with a couple of "bullet" connectors that are tied to
the electric tounge jack. The pump and Tygon tubing all fit into a
plastic box that's about 12 X 14 X 5". You can see the tank in this
picture:

I have a 'box' built from 4 2X4s so I can set the tank on the golf cart
and tie it down to 2 eyebolts in the floorboard. Makes a good 'water
wagon', I don't need to use the truck if I have the G.C. with me.
My suggestion to use an RV pump was based on the other correspondent's
desire to not have to fool with stuff so much. It'd save transferring
the water to the trailer's tank, and if the latter is actually only 15
gallons, that's good for only a day or so.
