I am thinking of getting some sort of 12V water pump, to pump water from a creek or tank into my caravan tanks when required. Naturally I would only be using good quality water sources and the source would have to be filtered somehow.

I have battery power to stay somewhere for about a week, but only enough water in van to stay for about 4 days, maybe 5, hence the need to get water into van.

Was thinking that as I already have all the hoses etc in my van anyway, this might be a better idea than carrying a couple of 20 litre plastic water containers that would only get used infrequently.

Was thinking of a shureflow similar to whats in my caravan, but cant seem to find any specs on it. I want to be able to pump from no more than say 10 metres distance and then up about 1 metre into the vans water fillers. The height of a river or creek bank would probaly have some effect on the ability of the pump to do the job as well i would imagine.

Does anyone know if this idea is feasable and if so, are there any suggestions as to what brand/model of pump would do the job.

Thanks
