I HAVE RUNNING WATER....AND TWO LEAKS!! | Ep.33

This week, Becca and her dad, Nick continue with the van build and work on the Truma e4 install. This includes connecting up all the water pipes and fittings. Meaning... Becca now has running water! It was a bit of a head scratcher to get this all working but they managed after a day of back and forth.
They also begin work installing the Simploo Compost Toilet, which involves making a homemade wooden stand so it sits in the shower tray without moving, and they do this with some good old up-cycling.

Becca, I just found your videos a couple weeks ago and started watching the van build from the beginning. I’m in awe of you and your dad’s relationship. The fact that both your parents are so supportive of your dreams and help you so much is awe inspiring. Watching ya’ll work on your van together brought back great memories of my dad helping my husband and I build a deck onto our house when we were in our late 20’s. It was all the things that you were experiencing: triumph, fun, mistakes, working things out, just some really good memories. Thanks for that! And I know you are now on the road and I can’t wait to follow along on all your adventures.❤

[@myvanworld]

That’s so lovely 💕 thank you. We’re very lucky 🥰

[@luminoussoundsyt]

Your dad is a true hero for helping you out in your van 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@myvanworld]

You’re not wrong there!

[@1akw]

Good old pops, he never seems to panic, just solve the problems true daughter and dad bond throughout this build 😊

[@sfankhauser3094]

My words exactly 👌👌

[@myvanworld]

Thank you. We’ve become so close during this build we can now finish each others sentences 😂

[@1akw]

@@myvanworld 😂 that's brilliant

[@ianpierce1888]

Great job on the plumbing, my only advice would be to add John Guest 12mm Speedfit Shut Off Valves on the main output and before each utility on both the hot and cold feeds in case of leaks further down the line, then you can isolate individual points instead of losing all water around the van.

[@myvanworld]

Thanks for the advice Ian - I’ll chat to dad :)

[@bettyourcampervan]

Its all a learnimg curve and a work in progress! Great video 😊

[@myvanworld]

Yes! Thank you!

[@mrcarl5481]

Love it, great progress in this one 🎉😊

[@myvanworld]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheJonno1968]

Well Becca you and your dad got it all sorted out again, is there no end to his and yours talents? Looking great still xxx

[@myvanworld]

Thank you. He’s taught me well 🥰

[@boatingmanchester]

Excellent work and when dad has finished send him round here i got a vivaro to do he would smash it in a weekend :)

[@philwright5970]

Quick tip :When wrapping ptfe tape, hold the fitting in your left hand and wrap the tape away from you, so it will tighten when you put your fitting on and not loosen, great job though

[@myvanworld]

Thanks for the info!

[@garyhorton9280]

Looking great

[@myvanworld]

Thank you!

[@sfankhauser3094]

I bet you can`t wait to get on the open road !! just you and your adorable companion 💕💕 I personally can not wait 💕💕 btw your dad is a bloody genuineness

[@myvanworld]

It can’t come soon enough! Thank you Sue 💗💗💗

[@moonramshaw1982]

I saw the thumbnail thinking you had a problem but then I remembered about your dad. He can sort anything. He should be our next prime minister lol. Your van is looking so good hun x

[@myvanworld]

Thank you 😀 Dad to the rescue once again!

[@blackbob3358]

No chance , 1982, he thinks for "himself". PM's are not allowed to do that, they're essentially puppets !

[@xtc2v]

Get a vertical accumulator with the air valve at the top. The horizontal ones are more prone to leak the pressurised air from the rubber bag inside

[@myvanworld]

Already in, you’ll see it next video 😃

[@adoniscyp7904]

These videos get better and better 👌🙌🎉

[@myvanworld]

🤍🤍🤍

[@antonyblakeston8541]

Hi Becca, you can always find a solution to a problem, always when you least expect it!!!! much love Tony xx

[@myvanworld]

Absolutely!!

[@Pootz1000]

Loving the way you come up with innovative ways to solve problems. Can't wait for the next episode Stay safe

[@robertoambrosi9876]

❤

[@richardneal394]

Love your attention the detail on the toilet base! We’ll done dad! We use similar water pumps in our work vans and always fit them with the pipes at the bottom ( pump upside down) otherwise you will keep getting airlocks, especially if you drive without the tank being full

[@myvanworld]

Thanks 👍

[@markwhitehead64]

Hi really enjoyed watching your video doing a really great job the loo in the shower looks great the van looking great really looking forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😊👍🏻

[@Vanosphere]

Sorry to have to pick on minor things seeing as your dad is way more intelligent and talented than me. But i do believe he was putting the PTFE tape on the thread in the wrong direction. It should be put on in the same direction as the screw turn. (In this case clockwise) If I'm wrong i apologise.

[@mhskou]

I believe you also would normally place it on the olive but with this installation there isn't an olive.

[@chrisb3850]

I was in no doubt you and your dad would be able to sort out the problems looking brilliance

[@stevie007]

Great stuff as per normal 👌👌

[@myvanworld]

Thanks Steve 🤍

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Just something to be aware of is leaving water in the pipes in a warm van its can be a breeding ground for bacteria like legionnaires

[@Papa_Kilo]

I was just thinking about you and your channel and up you pop! I'm actively searching for a motorhome as I'm tired of the rat race. Will have to be an older one though as the prices are scandalous.

[@myvanworld]

Why do you think I’m building mine…. I didn’t have £60k to buy one pre made! And yes, get out of that slave matrix 9-5 as soon as you can my friend 🙏🏽 things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

[@Bugs1953]

You seem to have missed the drain off for the truma😮

[@myvanworld]

You’ll see it in the next video. We’re not done installing it yet!

[@Shandawa]

First!!! Another great vid. Well done

[@davidmbell]

Do the one way drain valves stop you draining it down fully over winter? Should you park it up for a freezing period? A caravan has one but it’s one single one just by the inlet from outside. But before the drain down valve so any internal pipes can drain down and not risk freezing.

[@myvanworld]

We fit the drain valve in the next video 👍🏽

[@md2320]

Toilet needs a proper test vlog 🤩😜🤣😂🤣 once the vans finished you'll be getting evicted from mum and dad's!!!!! 👍😂🤣😂🤣 still looks great and got all you need .......

[@myvanworld]

🤣

[@Jimmy-lb1yc]

Pump is upside down
