My family had an old RV that had a bulb mounted on the floor that you had to step on with your left foot to pump water; though the previous owner had bypassed it and installed an electric pump but it was still interesting.

Air pressure from the spare tire was used. A cutoff valve prevented the spare from deflating below its usable pressure. I always liked the old VW-bug low-tech mechanism.

Seriously, though, I can't imagine driving a car under today's speeds and conditions without a windshield washer! (Shouldn't this be under "Origins" too, Charlie?)
