I think I am talking to someone that thinks outside the box.If ArmyOfSquirrels is after that type of water usage, like driving an hour or more into a remote area to camp for extended periods, then I suspect there would be better options rather than pumping stream water into his fresh water RV system IMHO. A hanging solar shower comes to mine, very inexpensive and takes up very little room. A empty barrel to haul in and store the pumped water in would also be a better option I would think. It would just make me uncomfortable pumping raw unknown untreated water from a stream or river into any RV fresh water system no matter if you are drinking from it or not.
If you take showing inside the RV out of the equation and just use your closed RV fresh water system for toilets and minor sink duties then a fresh water tank could actually last a very long time. It would be an interesting experiment.
