I put mine outside recently , blew the electrics within two weeks ,
Live & learn , should have covered it all & insulated it when it went outside ,
Now my pump doenst work , but luckily my water pressure is enough to
Fill tank within 8 hrs anyways & it's a 1000 litre , Ive just insulated
With space blankets & gaffer tape & put a heater in for the cold spells ,
& lagged the tap & piping , will take the main external pump hose out overnight & put in my shed & put back , when filling van up .

Can't help with what kit , as a mate set it up ,

I use a pond jet pump which i bought a while back from B & Q for a fiver put inlet hose into tank and run outlet hose to working tank , you can get a pump and black flexi transfer hose    about 15 mtrs i have  from a local aquatic shop all in you should pay about £45:00 at the most .

Insulation board from B & Q as well but to be honest mate if you can get hold of a 400 ltr upright tank and put it in a shed it will be better long term and will be so easy to insulate i plan on buying a shed in next 2wks and fully insulating it and housing  RO and electric point to run extension to working tank amd drop heater in over winter .

Smart look up terry tibbs!

I have clarke cbm240 i used for boosting the RO pressure, dont use it any more now i have moved to static tank.  I use the same pump tho to pump the water from holding tank to my van.  Level ground, 100 feet.  Gravity feed from IBC into this pump with a 2 inch pipe, then from this pump 100 feet to my van in a 1 inch pipe.  Does 80 litres per minute.  Sweet as!  If your not far and if your tank is high up could always gravity feed, failing that ive heard alot about people using normal submersible tanks to pump it out.  normally cheap ones from b and q, about 30-50 quid i think.
