[@felipeschubert4453]

The best videos on KZbin platform! Im watching all your videos thank you

[@VanLand]

Glad you like them!

[@jedhansen4229]

Do you have a video or part of a video showing the drain setup to the gray tank, including the hole through the floor? Thanks.

[@JaYoeNation]

What is that outdoor shower flip up fitting? thats really cool. thanks for the great video by the way!

[@JaYoeNation]

Great video... im going to go thru your whole series... thanks for doing this. I am building my cabinets now.. hope i have room for all the pumps and plumbing... i am looking at the space you have... and it has me a little concerned.. and thanks for showing me the accumulator... i forgot about that.

[@VanLand]

Best of luck!

[@jedhansen4229]

Very clear and informative video! Quick question - I have seen other videos caution the use of brass fittings on the tanks as they will cause the tank connection to split? Do you not find this issue? I see you have a brass ball valve connected to bottom of the interior tank. Thank you!

[@aarongarmon3809]

Great video! I wonder if you might have trouble filling the tanks in freezing weather with the outside fill?

[@aninaimhof3471]

Amazing!

[@user-xs4nc9ur2s]

Is Propex flexible enough to connect directly to the pump without increasing the noise? Typically you would isolate it with flexible braided tubing.

[@rkuiper9362]

Interesting these propex pipe, however if you wanna use UV-C led lights for cleaning the water, you can't use it, right?

[@hunterhastings6535]

I'd love to hear how you look at floor passthroughs. Do you use heavy gaskets of some kind? Cable boots? How do you seal? Cheers!

[@dewayneavery5097]

Won’t those black plastic elbows crack from freezing?

[@HuangXingQing]

Very nice design. 50g is sufficient for most owners I suspect.

[@VanLand]

Yes that’s plenty of water! More than that is really too heavy to carry.

[@HuangXingQing]

@@VanLand Does Van Land install the tanks/kits like this?

[@davekent20]

Thanks for the info 👍👍🇺🇸

[@VanLand]

You bet

[@Thermal694]

I wish some one would do a video on tank fittings. Plastic vs metal and the type of thread sealer for the fittings. I feel like no one explains this. :(

[@leblancexplores]

Is vinyl really that leak prone?

[@lkazanov]

Love your content! That’s about 400 pounds of water, will the van be OK?

[@VanLand]

It is a lot of weight, so make sure your rig is under the GVWR. For this build, it works!

[@robertschultheis1769]

One downside of pex is you need special tools to work on it. Most people wont want to carry these tools in their van. Having a system field serviceable with just a wrench is a nice thing. That said, pex is so unlikely to leak it probably is not a big concern.

[@ryankim3612]

Very good point. And valid follow-up assessment.

[@JacquelineSzeszko]

Where do you get the tool to put the connectors on and what is it called

[@brofessormex]

This is very high quality stuff. A bit overkill for my needs. I use a cell phone charger to power a 5 gallon water jug.

[@jesusm2211]

It's a pain in the ass to replace those connections.

[@aaronhale1519]

I want to build a truck bed camper, instead of buying one. Is there anyone I could hire to do the plumbing? Anyone who specializes in this type of stuff? I want it to be of grid capable, but also able to plug it into everything at a rv campground.. Any advice guys!?

[@VanLand]

why don't you call our main office at [phone] and we can get more information from you so we can find the perfect builder.

[@jamilchavez4592]

Did I miss the grey tank?

[@VanLand]

We did use a 20 gallon grey tank in this van. It’s mounted under the van on the driver’s side. vanlandstore.com/products/northwest-conversions-20-gallon-sprinter-undercarriage-water-tank-with-mounting-kit?_pos=1&_sid=6359dc39b&_ss=r

[@jamilchavez4592]

@@VanLand do you do anything special for winter travel with that tank? Looking to add a grey tank to my sprinter build right now

[@jamestreanor182]

Are all three colors propex?

[@VanLand]

Yes- it comes in white, blue and red.

[@ArthurKlisiewicz]

THERE IS NO BEST

[@BellaCW]

Oh yeah, definitely ready for all seasons with a plastic water container underneath the van. 💀That's a dumbass move.

[@earlhamil731]

Is pro PEX available in colors or just white

[@VanLand]

Yes it’s available in white, red and blue to my knowledge. Can be a bit hard to find still.
