Part 7 Installing gravity fed water inlet and water tank drain

First video of install of a water tank. Thanks, plumbing never has been my strong suit. You made it look easy.

@ Dry Creek Trading, Always nervous cutting a large hole in the bus, I didn't show me triple checking everything! Do you have a store? I have a used,surplus,salvage store but never opened it.

[@larryburch919]

Robert Braden, I used to sell on eBay but never got sales to really make any money. That was a long time ago. I would love to do a shuttle conversion and have most of skills. But the wife refuses even talk about it.

[@Malumbrus]

@@larryburch919 So just do it.

Thanks for showing this. I like your idea for the painting on the exterior, that sounds like it will look nice. I kept expecting your furry inspector to jump up on that butcher block while you were clear coating it lol. Keep the videos coming!

I put catnip in his bed so he would be busy for awhile! He was sleeplng when I checked on him.

Hey Robert, I’ve subscribed and really look forward to having advice to offer - however I’m first looking to starting my build and tracking down a road worthy vehicle first...huge process already! I found your channel because I’m looking for the same type of shuttle bus and in need of the process for conversion...yes including “the monotonous stuff” so I appreciate you including it in your videos! You have a range of tools I’ve got to acquire. Will stay tuned, keep up the good work.

what size water tanks do you have? also what fittings did you use in the tank, did you get them from Amazon? if so have a number? thanks... removing the floor from my shuttle.. because of a few dry rotted spots.. but will make it easier to install the tanks under the floor

This might be a dumb question but I'm a newbie. What prevents the water from flowing out when going up or down a hill?

[@robertbraden3889]

@Micheal Pelletier Not a dumb question, because when the tank is full it can dribble out the vent hole just under the filler cap if going down a steep incline. Not enough to worry about, Thank you for the comment! : )

Do you build customs ones for people?What state are you in?

[@robertbraden3889]

@Louise Perkins Hi, I'm in Northern California,about as far north as you can get without being in Oregon. I haven't thought much about building a bus for somebody, I do this as a hobby but I guess I could. Its more enjoyable when doing these when not meeting customer expectations,demands and changes. If a floor plan is agreed with in advance, I could build for someone. Thanks for the reply, I am looking for suggestions to make this build "homey " inside.

[@Malumbrus]

Where did you get the inlet and drain ports from?

[@robertbraden3889]

@Phteven I bought them on Amazon : ) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0735LHQBD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
