No...but i have an idea in mind i want to build some day when i am back on my feet. I'd like to make a simple system that can recycle the water so when your our for a 5-7 days in the boonies....you can shower every day. And then when you get home toss the filters and drain the water and start over...

Interesting how people think out west compared to the Great Lakes region. Why would I try to recycle water when there's too much of it everywhere? Seems like I can't go more than a couple miles without coming to a stream or lake and usually worry more about staying dry than finding water. It would be cool to be able to use junk water from a bog, I guess, but not needed anywhere I usually camp. It would be great to have filtration setup to make drinking water, though. Even with infinite water available (see below), it would be great to have a pump to fill an onboard tank from a hose (how high can an RV pump pull water?) and then dispense it for showering.

1. Lake Superior is, by surface area, the world's largest freshwater lake.
2. The surface area of Lake Superior (31,700 square miles or 82,170 square kilometers) is greater than the combined areas of Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
3. Lake Superior contains as much water as all the other Great Lakes combined, even throwing in two extra Lake Eries. Its volume is second only to Russia's Lake Baikal.
4. Lake Superior contains 10% of all the earth's fresh surface water.
5. There is enough water in Lake Superior (3,000,000,000,000,000--or 3 quadrillion-- gallons) to flood all of North and South America to a depth of one foot.
6. The deepest point in Lake Superior (about 40 miles north of Munising, Michigan) is 1,300 feet (400 meters) below the surface.
7. Over 300 streams and rivers empty into Lake Superior.
8. The Lake Superior shoreline, if straightened out, could connect Duluth and the Bahama Islands.
9. The average underwater visibility of Lake Superior is 27 feet, making it easily the cleanest and clearest of the Great Lakes. Underwater visibility in places reaches 100 feet. Lake Superior has been described as "the most oligotrophic lake in the world."
10. The lake is about 350 miles (563 km) in length and 160 miles (257 km) in width.
11. In the summer, the sun sets more than 35 minutes later on the western shore of Lake Superior than at its southeastern edge.
12. Lake Superior has over 400 islands, the largest of which is Isle Royale, with a size of 207 square miles.
13. Waves of over 40 feet in height have been recorded on Lake Superior.
14. Travel by car around Lake Superior covers a distance of about 1,300 miles.
15. Sudden changes in winds or barometric pressure around Lake Superior can produce seiches, a phenomena which results in water levels rising or falling as much as six feet along a coast in a short period of time.
16. Water in Lake Superior is retained, on average, 191 years

Epic overland trip on the way to Blazer Bash - The bumper fell off!

This post should show you how arid and dry it can be out here. But the views are amazing.
Filtering water for drinking and such is not a problem since there are so many available options
in filtering units out there.

Pretty sure to fill a chalets tank it will require a pump. I was thinking along the lines of a closed loop system just for showers based out of two jerry cans.
