Why an Adventure Pump

Water where you need it, without the lifting

Carrying extra water means you can stay out longer. Getting it from the jerry cans into the van is the hard part. An Adventure Pump does that bit for you.

12V powered and portable

Runs off your vehicle or caravan battery, so it works at remote camps with no mains power.

No more heavy lifting

No hoisting 20-litre jerry cans up to the filler. Easy enough for the kids to use, and kinder on older backs.

Skip the queues

Fill your containers when it suits you, then top up the van back at camp instead of waiting in line at the tap.

Stay off-grid longer

More usable water means more nights at the spots you love, and fewer trips back to town.

How it works

Three steps to a full tank

Drop it in

The slimline pump is 40 mm across, so it fits into wide-neck jerry cans and other water containers.

Plug it in

Connect to 12V with a cigarette socket, Anderson plug or alligator clamps, depending on your kit.

Fill up

Water flows at up to 10 litres a minute through food-grade hose, straight into your caravan or RV tank inlet.

Pump kits

Every kit uses the same universal pump. The difference is the power connections, hose length and extras that come with it.

The Adventure Pumps story

Built on a lap of Australia

Founder Alan Hungerford spent more than 20 years in the pump, water and irrigation industries. In 2020 he set off on a two-year lap of Australia with his wife, two young kids and the dog, towing a Jayco caravan.

Foreseeing low-pressure taps and long queues at refill points, Alan hand-built a 12V water transfer pump kit before they left. It became the family's most prized piece of gear, and other travellers kept asking where they could get one. Adventure Pumps was the answer.

"This pump revolutionised our lap and was without a doubt our most prized piece of equipment."

Common questions

Good to know

Will the pump fit my jerry cans?

The pump is 40 mm in diameter, so it suits wide-neck jerry cans and water containers with an opening larger than that. Check the opening on your containers before you buy.

Which kit should I get?

If you only power it one way, the Essentials Kit or Essentials Anderson Kit is all you need. The Universal Bundle adds the hoses, filling adaptor and fittings in a canvas bag. The All Options Bundle covers every power connection and adds extension hoses, so it suits groups travelling together with different setups.

Can I pump diesel or petrol?

No. Standard kits are for fresh water and salt water only, and must never be used for petrol or any liquid with a flashpoint below 37 °C. For diesel, talk to us about a custom diesel kit.

Can I use it to rinse off sand?

Yes. It's great for rinsing sand off people, dogs and gear at the end of the day. Don't run pet-wash chemicals through it.
