 these are ok but as some people say make sure you put a switch in the circuit so you can turn it off when youre travelling - haven't had the experience of it starting up for no reason yet (and mind you its the pump that makes that decision) but not sure I want to see the result either!

we used s shurflo automatic pump but I don't see the one we bought any more  - this is the closest:
