This is the best video that I have seen for a plumbing setup!
WOW thank you so much!
Hey @MEREDITH and PACO! We absolutely LOVE how simple you two are making your plumbing setup! We've seen some crazy setups and know that the simpler it's constructed, the easier it is to maintain and the less probability of problems down the road. One thing that would be worth adding to the setup as seen in this video is adding a quarter turn shut off valve BEFORE the pump and another one AFTER the accumulator. The reason being is that if you need to perform maintenance or switch out a pump or accumulator, you don't have to empty your entire load of water (you'd only be losing the little bit that resides in the pump and accumulator).
Other than that, we LOVE LOVE LOVE how you set this up! We're planning on using Pex and Shark Bites too (so friggin simple!)
Keep rocking it, y'all!!!
- B+E
That is a great point! We will consider adding one thank you, guys! Yall are the pros and have the hook up here so You saying that is quite the compliment hahah! Thank you, cant wait to see how you guys do yalls!!
@@GustheStruggleBus LOL "Pros" just because we wear safety gear! EYE PRO! EAR PRO! BREATH PRO! ROFLMAO PRO!
You two are doing awesome and we love seeing you work together!! This is just a suggestion and not "required" just thought you are in a good spot to add those two shut offs easily if you wanted to :)
- B+E
Awesome! you guys did a good Job. This is one of my worse fear, of having my pluming done wrong and water be all over the place. 😰
You can do it!
Holy moly! Looking forward to seeing this vid!!!
Hope we did not disappoint!
@@GustheStruggleBus Absolutely DID NOT disappoint! Y'all rocked it!!! And the face you made when the water wasn't coming out of the outside shower, then you hit the "on" button... Priceless! Keep it up!
Lol Right!! Little by little it's coming along
Another step forward!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!
And thank you so much for watching, getting closer!!!
I had that pressure value, figuring it was the better option being more expensive and all. That turned out to be a total bust. It stopped working not that long after I got it. I've gone back to the basis one that keeps the pressure at 55 lbs. with no gauge. It seems to work way better and I've had no issues with it. Not saying you'll have issues with yours, but pay attention to that one. It might not be working when or the way you think it is. You won't have problems with the PEX and high pressure, but you will blow out the diaphragm in your pump with it. Keep up the good work guys!!
Thank you so much for letting us know, we will keep an eye on it!
MEREDITH and PACO you’re welcome. I wasn’t a real happy camper when it failed when I needed it to work the most. It was great while it worked though.
@@2AZSUN I can imagine!
Just in case, maybe secure the flitting or flex tape that area to make sure it will not leak. I was laughing when I saw Meredith jumping inside the front window. I thought she was cleaning it and realized she was just goofing off. 😁
That is a great idea! We will seal it even though it stopped just in case! Thank you so much, gotta keep you guys on your toes hahah
Another awesome video as always guys! Been following you for a long time and can't wait to see how this build turns out. In the process of building my own skoolie and you are on the top of my list of skoolie peeps I want to meet!
Aw, thank you so much! Testing your plumbing might not be the most exciting but it is important!!
Hi guys! Thank you so much for the explanations in your plumbing videos, it helped me a tone for my bus conversion! I was wondering, what water heater did you choose to go with?
Thank you so much! We are so glad it was helpful! We ended up choosing this water heater

If your pump runs for a 1/4 of a second and shut off and back on you have a leak,we have a truck camper and the lines come loose all the time
Yes, thank you! That is a great tip and one we realized soon when we did not turn the shower all the way off!
Very proud of both of you! Doing a great job. Just for fun I'll send a few swarms of mosquitoes that will keep your attention. Pay no mind to the ants crawling up the tires. For there just out scouting food. Watch that fly he is a scout for more ice cream. Listen to the music of our choir of cicadas. Peace be with you both.
Hahah oh no need to send more we have plenty here already! The giant beetles and spiders are about to have us all cornered!
So why did you guys go with pex pipe and not schedule 40 pvc pipe.
we liked how user friendly it was and it was the recommended product to use with the shark bite fittings.
when youre planning on driving the bus around a lot you stand the chance to find a tap for potable water at the campsite or rv dumpingstation that dont have a screw tread on it
a water thief tap adapter is sumting you want to have in that case hammerzone.com/archives/interiors/trim/refinish1/stained/intvst52.jpg
We had not thought of that! Thank you for the link
@@GustheStruggleBus i used to watch nomadic fanatic on youtube , hes all about guirilla and urban camping and has a lot of these tricks and a long list of places where you can camp for allmost free
i dont think i could be in the same room with him without a fight breaking out , still he makes ok content for people looking for traveling on the cheap
Hey guys I'm not seeing the regulator in your links... was that an Amazon item? Glad your pipes are not leaking. Did you think the RecPro 100 gallon tank was high quality? Was it easy enough to hook up?
Hey! We will make sure to add it, thank you for letting us know! We love the tank, great quality and very easy to connect once you know the sizes of things!
Hagan una cama por si aparece un bebe
jajaja no pa eso todavia falta! 😂
What water tank did you purchase?
HEy! WE got our tanks from REC pro
How do u drain it
There is a drain in the back of the tank
City wather and other wather are the seem why You do 2 whittings
Im not sure I undertand
@@GustheStruggleBus that all water are the same with the filter. city water and farmwater. in city water there is also dirt in it just like the other water why 2 connections.
@@danielvanmourik5247 One is gravity flow. So we would just stop and fill up the tank and they keep going. The other =city is for a hookup, so we would screw it on and stay parked and have continuous water while parked with our using our tank water.
It won't let me live chats sad face
Aw we missed you, hopefully, next time!
