I believe I did, but stranger things have happened. I also tried responding to the 'frontdesk' email at the bottom of the invoice, but I totally understand being busy and missing it. Thanks for digging! Marsha sent you an email. Got it and paid! |

Solar gain test commenced  Facing south here I should have good bright exposure into the afternoon. My little Bluetooth pool sensor has a log so I can see when it drops as well. At 6pm, the peak according to weather chart today, I'll get a bucket and pump a couple gallons with the sensor floating to get a reading. Noonish data log without opening the frunk:     |

My prediction for the 6:00 PM water temp test is about 85 F.

This is what the W [=0===0=] TR is all about. Thank you, Gene, for helping make dispersed camping all the more accessible. I've been surprised at how much water I've actually used this weekend. While not even close to using 12 gallons, I've happily had that extra few cups of coffee, have done dishes without regard to saving water (what joy that is!), and even squirted the dog with water. And, tally one for Team Internal Pump. It's quiet, has flat, clean look on top, and has generally done everything that I needed. Attachments:

Do you have an ETA on deliveries for the second half of the reservations? I think I'm near the end of that list, but seeing folks enjoy this product has gotten me really excited. Desert camping season here in SoCal is very near!

Man if I don't get outside to at LEAST the beach soon I'm going to go nuts =). Also, I think you are the first person to use the sprayer holder--or at least the first one to take a picture of it. |

I really like how you came up with the supports for the window towards the truck on your RTT. I have the EXACT same setup and have just been leaving it flapping in the wind. didn't even think of hooking into the roof rack mounts! Thank you for sharing your setup!  |

Final water temp in the bucket was 83.4F. W[=0===0=]TR surface no warmer than ambient: certainly not 103F to the touch.
My conclusion is the tank material is that good of an insulator.
I might get a Faucet adapter and run hot tap water to see what temperature delta it holds over 6 hours.

Looking for more info on the Seaflo-23 upgrade. Where is this signup list?

Just received my tank. Excellent fit and finish! My compliments. Three questions:
1. Definitely will go with the external Seaflo pump but I believe you mentioned the next pump up from the 23 as a possibility. Is it the Seaflo 12v 100psi unit at Amazon for $38.99? Will your bracket support such?
2. Would you guess the 80" hose referenced earlier be long enough to operate around the camp kitchen or is this unnecessary as I'm guessing the kitchen will have its own tank and hose.
3. The only drawback I see with the external pump (forget the noise) is it interfering with the future cooler that is supposed to fit on top of the tank...or do I have that wrong.
Thanks
Mel

No. (but MAYBE) That one is intended for commercial use and is a LOT louder as it has no casing / shielding. It also has a different mounting pattern. I may look at that one for use in a custom machined aluminum housing that replaces the hatch on the tank. It would be a super clean factory look that protects the pump--if I can lower the noise that would be (by far) the best way to go. 2. Jeff has tested the Seaflo 23 with a straight 80" hose, a 197" hose, and a 277" hose. So basically 6.5, 16.5, and 23 feet. I'm including a link to his video below. He found the pump worked surprisingly well, even at 23 feet, which would easily reach the camp kitchen. 3. The external pump doesn't interfere with the cooler. |

***UPDATE***
For those of you that haven't gotten your tanks yet:
The factory inadvertently made and shipped 5 or 6 tanks in white. About half liked the white and opted to keep them, and the other half have opted to replace them with blue tanks.
A lot of you had asked if you could get a white tank so I'm going to have the factory confirm everything is OK with the unused returned tanks, wash them out and assemble and package them for anyone else that might want a white tank. There likely will only be 2 or 3 available, and if you have already gotten your tank it's not worth all the back and forth shipping, so this is only for anyone in the last group who hasn't gotten theirs yet. Also, it's obviously first come first serve.
To be clear, everything in the box--including the box itself--will be new parts. Pump, caps, hoses, etc..
Let me know if you have any questions.

I don’t know what group I’m in, but I would love one of the white ones! |
