Awesome! In the first picture: at the left, is that a fill hose going to outside the vehicle?
I'm doing the same thing right now...building custom water tank out of ABS plastic.
Did you use polyurethane? Hot-air welded?
Looks very sweet.
Going custom is the only way to maximize water volume and minimize wasted storage space....
My tank is out of HDPE and yes it is hot-air welded. The welder and materials aren't cheap, but to pay someone to do this would not be cost effective.
No, that hose is the intake for the pump. Here is a pic of it going thru the bulkhead, with the pump directly behind the bulkhead (which of course one can't see):

At the rear is the faucet with a swivel spout. Turn the spout, flip the on/off switch, flip the faucet handle and you have water. Here is a close up view:

The other quick disconnect you see in this pic if for the shower. The shower head will have the on/off handle to be able to regulate water flow. Don't want to use too much water taking a shower.
This next pic is from the passenger side where I put in a water gauge to see how much water is in the tank. I will put graduation lines on it in the future. Not the best pic, but you get the idea.
