The best way to attach the container spigot onto the usb faucet is to use a heat gun to soften the spigot to then force onto the threading of the faucet's end. This worked liked a charm becauseit createda natural pattern that wont twist off.
Made mine a couple weeks ago and just finished using it on a week long camping rip through Utah and Colorado. Worked great and was sooo easy! Thank you for sharing!
Can you provide a little more detail on how and where exactly you got glued the spigot onto the bottom of the battery powered faucet? Love this idea and trying to adapt to our talk-skinny Reliance 7-Gal container.
Simpler is better as you just exemplified. A video I watched just before yours was a bit more elaborate and used an electric pump after connecting several pieces of connectors and tubing. Yours truly embodies easy peasy concept
Thanks for this-there is no ready-made product that does this for Reliance containers, so DIY is the only option, and you gave me the inspiration to do it. One note that others might find helpful: The pump I chose was similar but the Reliance pipe (after cutting) was too small a diameter to attach the the pump. I found a PVC pipe fitting that worked as an adaptor. Used a lot of epoxy. (And I screwed it up once, had to scramble to recut as the glue was setting. So measure twice, then measure a couple more times.) So there’s some ingenuity and experimentation required, but the end result is something I’ve been wanting for a long time.
Not sure why you would use hot glue. What I did was use a razor blade to trim off all of the little flanges on the black plastic tube on the bottom of the faucet pump in in order to let the white plastic tube (the one from the Reliance blue water jug that you just used a hacksaw to cut off the spigot) fit the faucet pump black plastic tube. You could hot glue the white Reliance water jug tube to the black pump tube, but why bother? It is a perfect fit as is. Also, I can foresee the rubber tube that goes into the water jug getting pulled off at some point and without the assembly hot glued together you will be able to dissemble the mechanism in order to put the tube back on, or replace it if damaged or dirty and needing replacement.
Hello, thanks for your additional details, if I understand well, you did not glue the reliance white part to the black tube but just inserted it and it holds well? Just trying to do the same.
@@edithtardif676 Advice for others, do not cut off the flanges off, instead, use a heat gun to heat the spigot and then push it into the flanges and it will mold to the shape and won't turn. This worked like magic for me. The easiest hack ever for this.
You can loosen it up to point it whichever direction you want, it doesn't really need to be tightened down all the way. I'm actually moving away from this since I found a pump that has its own base so you can set it on a table or something and just have the container nearby with a hose running into it: amzn.to/3JV2Js5
@@TheCampingElementdoes it have to be sealed to the top? Does it push air into the water container to displace or does the pump work without being tightened down?
I used these blue jugs last year when I was on the road flat bed truck driving I had 4 of them and had a tiny hot water heater I’d put inside them and I would take a shower on the stairs to my truck when I couldn’t end my day at a truck stop
Didn't even know about the dometic one until after I made this one 😅 I did look into it, just too tall for my setup. The reliance containers fit perfectly under my platform & like you said, a lot cheaper

Thanks for sharing your system, which will work for my purposes.

Great idea, I'm going to copy this design. Thanks!

doesn't get much similar than the stock gravity feed set-up?
Ordered with your link. Thanks for the knowledge!

What size pvc fitting did you end up using? And the fitting you used? Thank you.
That’s super clever. I’ll have to give this a try!
Great idea and right on time. I've been looking for an automated pump solution. Thanks for sharing!
Great video and idea, gonna do the same thing for my big water jug.
Looks very easy to do. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh thank you I was hoping to find a way to use a usb pump with my 7 gallon reliance skinny blue REI water jug.
💜🦋💕👍🏼
I like that idea.simple and does the job😊
Best thing I ever did was get one of these pumps!!!
Where did you get your front bar work from? looks awesome.

Guess you should spread your wings and create your own how to channel
Thank you for your service and I wish you had a video about this.

What a great idea!
Is the position of the spout adjustable? Or when you twist it on does it stay pointed in the same direction?

@@TheCampingElementThe problem is that you are now carrying the container, pump, and line separately with both hands.
thank you
Brilliant!
Why can’t someone make a pump to fit these jugs I got 2 of these but can only find them that fit the huge water jugs
Someone can create a custom attachment using a 3D printer. Anyone want to take a stab at it?

I am a new subscriber recommended by Tristan from RUclips channel rv and fishing channel. Great idea Thanks for sharing
Excellent vid
Neat idea!
That’s cool 😊
Cool!
great hack
Bruh, don’t you want the Dometic version for $170.00 so you can get the RUclips Overlander cred?
Nicely done 👍🏻
