I am rigging up my truck for a month long cross country journey, and to use as a personal hotel during my other hobbies where i am outdoors or a long drive from home.
I have been doing alot of research, but hard to find everything i need in one place!
My challenge right now is water setup. I would ideally like to install a tank or 2, and have it be pressurized water so we can use it for a shower when camping. I will have an ARB fridge in the cab stocked with food and drinks so drinking water is not as much of a concern to me on this build, and i can always throw a case or 2 of water in the back. I am not trekking out of civilization for extended periods of time.
I can live without a real shower for a week or 2 if needed but the wife needs her comforts. So my estimated max consumption would be for 2-3 "women's" showers. I say "women's" because they typically have longer hair than men (my wife does) and takes longer to wash therefore more water use.
Right now i am thinking 18 gal total. 2x - 9gal. Reservoirs, one in each corner of the bed of my truck right by the tail gate).
Is 18 gal a decent amount of water? How long can i expect this to last before needing a refill?
Also if anyone can suggest pumps and fittings and whatnot i would appreciate it.
Still waiting to get a cap for my truck before starting the buildout, but here are some pics of my current project inside the cab. Still need to finish the roof and front wall on the dog cage and some other minor things.
