We've removed the water tank from its gravity location in the Lil Loafer and want to drop the tank and add a pump. It's just one tank, one faucet cold water - fine for my needs. I have a few questions (that very well have been answered in other threads).
1. Which little 12 volt pump is best, or a foot pump or hand pump or...? Anything away from gravity. What do I do here?
2. I am reconfiguring the tank location to the floor - which is just sensible...or is it? Thoughts? I found a lot of wasted space in the "closet" that I'd rather shelve and net for better use. it's a tiny trailer so I don't want to have wasted space and don't need a place to hang clothes or whatever was going on in that area.
Here's where the water tank was - my hand is on the beam that held the shelf that held it:

Here's where I'd like it to sit on the ground below:

3. The drain. We are replacing the pipe over the top of the tank and out the same way it was before. It's the shape - I can just go with an L off the sink, right? I don't need the curve trap it's got currently, correct?
Here's what it looks like now:
