If I were you all, I would purchase additional water hose that connects between the reservoir tank and water hose, it's $30.00 but worthy. This crap is easily breakoff, I think it's a bad design. I have a spare one in the car, avoid from getting the car tow when this one break off on its own.

When you live where the temperature rarely dips below freezing, you don't have to deal with the whole "carry kitty litter, matches and a hatchet to build a lean-to".

Bought a cool tool at AAA the other day.
It is a glass braking hammer, digital tire guage, flash light and seat belt knife cutter. Hope I never use it
