RP800 Rocket Hand Pump for RV, Camper Holding Tank Faucet Pump - Chrome

We have a vintage trailer for camping. When off grid camping we still need water. This is the exact same pump that was installed way back in 1963 when our trailer was new. It even has the same name molded into the base. Works perfectly. Draws water from a 10 gallon tank that is set below and about 4 feet away from the pump. Has a hold position so that constant flow is ready when needed. Not a single leak was found. Pumps a good volume too. A couple pumps will give you approx. a cup of water. Installation was a snap. Just mount the pump in the existing hole as it is the exact same dimentions. Push and clamp the inlet hose and pump away. If you have no hole in the location that you want to mount it, just measure the base and cut a round circle to allow it to drop into place. Comes in a blister pack and includes the pump and mounting screws. We are please with it so far. We see that some have had crack issues and we will keep an eye out for that. So far not a single problem. This could be a good option for all of out vintage camper friends rebuilding their rigs.

Replaced an older model of this unit and it was probably the easiest project I've done on my boat so far. The old one wouldn't hold prime and leaked from the spout and handle. This one is completely leak free and holds prime perfectly. I was leery about replacing it with the same model due to the issues with the old one, but I think the old one was just worn out, there are no issues with this one.

I read mixed reviews on the leaking but it's the best deal I could find out there so I gave it a try. I connected it up with my hose first thing when I bought it to see if it leaked or not (as many reviews made it sound like you either got a leaking one or you didn't and you'd know immediately). I didn't see any leaking off the bat so I went forward with installing it in my truck camper... sadly first camping day out, after using the lever for only 5-10 pulls, the sucker started a trickling leak out the side where the pull handle is. It's slow, but it's relatively consistent. When you leave it primed, it then continues to leak a little as it maintains it's suction, so for the 3 night camping trip we had to keep a sponge and towel right next to it to slowly soak up all the leaking and then ring it out. Of course that then resulted in the water leaking down into the hole it's installed in and now I have water damage on the actual sink area... I fortunately had some cementing caulk handy and used that to at least seal up the leaking down into the wood frame, but of course that doesn't solve the problem of the leak in general. It's usable with the sponge maneuver, and not keeping it primed with suction (so what leaks out is only what remains in the hose).... but I def wouldn't recommend the product. Spend a bit more and get a proper functioning one.

We have a small van we are converting, a 2020 Metris. Compared to Sprinters you have more concerns about space. We won't have a shower, nor be doing a lot of dishes so why go to all the work of wiring an electric pump? This works well enough to wash hands, brush your teeth, was a few things. You just have to pump it so it is not as convenient as electric but it works.

I bought a used - like new one. They sent me two instead of one. They both work great. I can't complain. Exactly what I needed.

OMG. Finally a hand pump for my boat sink that works. I’ve tried 2 others that broke after a few uses. This thing is strong with good water flow. Was easy to install too!

This is a great little manual pump faucet that was easy to install in my trailer and works great. I know some people have complained that the faucet leaks but that wasn’t my experience. I have a 5/8” hose running from the pump into a 5 gal water cube next to the sink. Great value for the money!

I'm giving the product 2 stars because technically it does what it's supposed to. Unfortunately what it does isn't really beneficial in my application which is dry camping in a converted van--and I can't see how it would be beneficial in any other application. I currently carry 3 6-gallon jerry cans and use those to fill a gallon container that in turn I use to quickly fill water bottles, pots, and for cooking/cleaning. I bought this hand pump with the thought that it would be an upgrade, as I could connect it directly to a jerry can and cut out the middle step of filling the gallon jug--thus saving time and hassle. Unfortunately, now that the hand pump is installed in the van I've realized that using it will be more of a hassle than the previous method. The main issue I have is that it does not pump much water per cycle. I didn't measure it, but I would guess it pumps approximately 1oz per pump. So if I wanted to fill two 20oz water bottles to take biking, it would take me 40 pumps to fill them. In the time it would take to do that, I could go back to my old method of filling the gallon jug, fill my bottles with the gallon, and still have 88oz left in the gallon jug--which equates to 88 more cycles of pumping from the hand pump. So for me personally, this just isn't worth it. I will be taking this hand pump out and installing a 12V water pump and normal faucet in the future. I'm going back to my old method in the meantime. Another issue I have with the pump is that it is not very tall, which is not so much the fault of the pump, but I mention it for others to think about before purchasing. For my installation, the pump was flush mounted directly to a countertop with no sink present. Because there is no recessed area such as a sink, it would be impossible to slide a large pot, a Nalgene bottle, cycling water bottle, or gallon jug underneath the faucet. So to fill anything more than something quite shallow I would have to hold the container at an angle with one hand while pumping with the other. In other words it's like trying to fill a water bottle at a water fountain--you usually aren't able to fill the entire bottle because of the weird angle you have to hold the bottle. Lastly, after pumping water the hand pump leaks a bit from the faucet. As I do not have a sink underneath the faucet, that means that after pumping water a few drops of residual water will leak out of the faucet onto my countertop when I'm driving and hit a small bump. I checked with the handle in both positions, and it occurs in both. All in all, the pump does what it says. If it moved a decent amount of water quickly, I could get past the other issues I have with it. But the bottom line is you could fill a gallon jug from a larger vessel and pour from the gallon throughout the day and you would save yourself quite a bit of time and hassle over using this hand pump. If you're only interested in a few ounces of water at a time, this may be for you.

This was so simple and straightforward. It lifted a pipeful of water approx 3.5 feet in two pumps of the handle.. Great. A good amount as well. I had battled with electric pumps which kept screwing up, and got this in exasperation for my restored 1977 Dodge Campervan,s sink and drinking water. Ace!!

Excelente calidad

Ease of installation.

The product looked like it was damaged return that had just been repackaged and sent on to me. Unusable rubbish!

Es de un material muy poco resistente y de muy mala calidad. Lástima por que de diseño está muy padre.
