Abstract
A portable water system is designed for mounting on the tailgate of a pickup truck. The system has a tailgate pad with a built-in water tank and pump. A hose is attached to the pump with a nozzle at the end of the hose opposite the pump. A pump pocket on tailgate pad next to the water tank holds the pump, allowing it to pump water from the water tank into the hose. In use, the system is mounted on a tailgate, the water tank is filled with water, and the pump is connected to the vehicle's electrical system. Once the truck and water system are in the location in which running water is desired, the pump is turned on, and water is dispensed through the hose by engaging the nozzle.
