Goals of the project:
Water System
Everything is 1/2" ID hose. 1/2" NPT fittings for everything, and GHT input and output.
Diagram
Misc parts
1x 1/2" NPT barbed T-fitting
Hose clamps
90 degree elbows
Pump strainer https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V2W0GE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pump silencing kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WN5F96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Garden hose
1/2" NPT bulkhead fitting
input screen washer
1/2" ID heater hose for heat exchanger connections
1/2" ID braided hose
Water tank sensor and gauge
Front runner roof rack shower arm https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/front-runner-rack-mount-shower-arm.html
Air System
Viair Dual 400C w/ 2 Gallon tank. Mounted in the cab.
Fabricating the Panel
- rectangular aluminum square tube will be sandwiched between 2 aluminum plates. Front plate will be larger, with a flange, and a cutout to access the backing plate where the fittings will be mounted.
Cutout will be made where the black strip is in the lower area of the quarter panel. I have a steel rear bumper w/ sliders so it's pretty well protected.
Will continue to update this thread with parts. Unfortunately I'm currently locked out of Mcmaster-Carr :yikes:
- Inflate tires
- Light duty air tools (coolant bleeder, grease gun)
- Possibly air horns
- Pressurized hot and cold water sourced from tank or external source (garden hose, lake, creek, etc)
- No use of propane or electricity to heat water
- use water for showers, cleaning dishes. Not for drinking
- keep it somewhat simple, but flexible
