    Mike - Actually I drop the pump into a five gallon Home Depot bucket that way I can recycle the water when not using it. What a great idea! I'll take a few pictures of the setup next time I'm out (should be this weekend). Yup, we LOVE pictures! Mike

    -750 watt inverter -Zodi Hot-Tap HP (modified with 120v 350gal/hr pond pump) Welcome and that is a great looking setup you have! Yes, we LOVE pictures! I assume you use the inverter to power the pond pump and have the pump intake in a stream/pond/river/lake/puddle/cenote/etc. Mike

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Hawk on '07 Tundra: best mods for stability and offroad?

    1. Without any extra support, I experienced less than 3" of sag measured at the hitch, fully loaded. Rides great, truck looks level with the load. Haven't hit a bump stop yet. 2.
