Let's begin our deep dive into how the Lokithor Buddy 5-in-1 can make your off-grid adventures easier. With 8 surprise uses and new solutions to old problems, you may learn a few things along the way.


1. THE CARAVAN & RV WATER MANAGEMENT BUDDY

Reliable and efficient water management when off-grid is vital when off-grid, camping, traveling overland, Van Life, driving RV's and towing caravans.

The Lokithor Buddy 5-in-1 can be used as a fresh water transfer pump system for re-filling caravan and RV water storage containers. Off-grid adventure seekers know it's difficult to position or move caravans close to water sources such as lakes and rivers after caravans and campsites are setup. Re-fill larger storage containers, jerry cans and bladders using a smaller runabout vehicle, sourcing water from distant water sources away from campsites or caravan parking locations.

Transfer this almost endless water supply system directly into the caravan water re-filling inlet using the built-in 200 PSI @ 8L per/min water pump of the Lokithor Buddy 5-in-1 water pump system.

Jet Skis, boats and most watercraft used in salt water can be rinsed off using fresh water from storage tanks carried onboard vehicles or on trailers.
