In this video

We're building a simplified on-demand

Pressurized water system for your RV or your camper for your van for your off-grid tiny home now

This is part two. So if you haven't seen part one click on the card above and it'll take you there

Otherwise, let's continue on so here's our next setup for the pump

So well, the first thing you want to do is check to see which way your water is flowing

There's always a mark somewhere on this one see right there

There's an arrow that tells you that it water's running that way

If you remember it comes with two each of these two threaded fittings and two hose barb fittings. We're gonna use one of each

The one that's going to the sink. I've got this 30 inch

I didn't need 30 inch but half inch FIP to half inch FIP. Both ends are the same. I would have got stainless

I just like it. This is gonna be permanent. This pump does cook put out a good bit of pressure

So it's also freeze resistant. I just thought was a good way to go

So we'll need to put the pipe tape on here

And this simply screws on here and then the other end simply screws right on under the sink to the cold water fitting

Now this part over here is gonna be a bit more temporary

but we're gonna use the hose the hose barb fitting on this one and this pipe is

Inside diameter

1/2 inch I also got the reinforce again didn't need to because this isn't gonna be pressurized but this will go over this and get

another hose clamp

So the other end of this is gonna go into our temporary water tank

And what I'm gonna do is I'm going to take this and I'm going to cut this top part off

Here's my little thing with your pipe thread. You want to wrap it around in this direction

Such that when you screw

this on so we're gonna screw that on to the right that it goes with the flow of the tape not against it if you're

Screwing us if you're screwing it against the tape

it's gonna

It's gonna buckle up and Bend up

So and this is the direction I go and I guess if you're looking at from this way

It would be clockwise. And so you want to do this knot when it's attached here because you could break the plastic

So what I've done is I've hand tighten this as much as I can

because I don't want to bust this plastic fitting and

So then we'll crank it on and it'll probably leak a little and I'll just keep tightening tightening just a little bit

Alright, so now that my tubing is out of its warm bath. It's much more relaxed

So here we have it

Now when you put these put these on put the tubing all the way up to the end

And put the clamp in the middle

Don't put the clamp all the way up here or all here. Try to get it right in the middle again

This one's not gonna be pressurized. So the tightness isn't as a big factor. So you want to do as much work as you can

outside of

Underneath the kitchen sink because it's not fun to do it underneath there

So when once we get this mounted then all I have to do is just I take this

Plug it in these cool fittings, make sure it's all the way in

Push that down and it's done see all right, heading back under the sink

I've mounted it on the back wall to kind of test it out. You can see here

I plugged in that water line that just goes right up in here and screw so that fitting there and

Then I've got my intake line going up and over to where the water tank will be but the problem is this sticks out

and it may not fit so I need to put my

Refrigerator in here on it slide out and see if it's gonna be able to go all the way back in

Oh that's got to find in another place to tell you what this build is absolutely amazing

Just the blind luck of tolerances and I shouldn't say this out loud. You know, our first tolerance was up here at the drain line

Hey, that's just like right there. The next tolerance was the water lines, and there's actually about a half-inch

It's actually about a half-inch right here where the water lines clear

I can tie this one up a little bit and reach it around back for the pump. There's another 1/2 to 3/4 inch clearance

So when we try the slide

Slide works, perfect

If you don't know how to make these slides, I'll put a card right here above you can click on it

These are really easy to make much easier

than I really thought it would be and in in that video I mentioned about putting the travel locks in and here's the pin I

Was mentioning about you just drill a hole right down through there. This is a pin a little button on the bottom there

And you can just leave it partly out and go back and forth

And then when you're ready to travel

Just push it the rest of the way down and it's locked in solid and then I have this little lock over here

That just spins around and it locks the pantry slide out in so

simple easy

Does the job alright it's time to do another test before we get the water tank set up

I put some zip ties in to hold everything in place

Looks pretty good. So

if you've been subscribed to my channel you

Heard the story about this little wire here

So when when the mavs was built they put this wire in the wall and it wasn't not accessible to anybody

They put it in really just for me

I think so when I was taking the walls down I found this wire and there was a note attached to it

And what's really cool is that they even put a note to it?

It says power source, 12 volt DC 20 amps plus minus constant hot

I never really did check to see if it was hot because it might have gotten disconnected or never was connected

But that's one reason why I wanted to put my electrical box somewhere back in here is because I would have access to 20 amps

Always hot

So I'm gonna use this I did just now check it

Again, everything just really working out. I'm so jinxing myself

Um, so I did a quick little test and the pump did come on

so since we've got this now, I have it wired it up and we'll do a proper switch and

plug and all that stuff

But I just want to test and see where my water leaks are cuz I'm I am expecting a leak right here

I really hope we don't have one here

That could be a problem and there shouldn't be one up above because that's a metal-on-metal fitting. So I've got my water line over here

Stuck in my tank here. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get in there and give that thing a little power

Just wanna see what's there?

So it's priming Luther's water

Water leak here hot so far

Are

That's awesome

One slight flaw that's gonna need to be dealt with if you have the cold water valve open and

You accidentally open the hot water valve only while that one's open

If you haven't open this one it combines and the water feeds back through here and comes out down here

So I need to try and figure out maybe I'll visit the nice people Lowe's how to get aid something here

That's a dummy one or put a line on here and crepe it off. So that water can't come out here

All right, so I did go down to Lowe's and got in a half-inch FIP pipe cap

And I'll put the tape on it and we'll put it on just the hot water until

Eventually, I get the hot water heater put in

Since that was a metal-on-metal I put it on pretty tight got my wrench and tighten that down real good

So that should take care of our back pressure problem

So I built this slide out here for mostly clothing and dressing. So so the in the morning for dressing, I've got my shirts

Put them up there. We've got my pants

wristband and just put them up there and then I have access to

T-shirt socks underwear a lot of little things and this is also where I've allowed storage for my water tank

I've put this in here to keep it in place and so now

The water line kind of comes up and over from the water pump down in here

need to figure out how to fasten it a little better here and

Figure out how to cut the line, but also something I need to do had a brain idea last night

over here

We have the pump for suction

And what that is is a ghost of a suction pump that is back behind the wall here

and so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go in there and cut the wire to that and

Bring that wire over to the pump. So then I have to worry about wiring into that other

Another wire right now and I'll already have a pump built-in. So that's gonna be great

Just come up here hit the suction pump and then that'll turn on the water pump then it'll be on demand

So that's gonna simplify things a lot except I've got to go dig under here and find out where to cut that wire

Alright, so I found my section pump back here

Now my connector right here snipped it and there's my wires

So I like using these crimp connectors here

They're color coded. So this one is blue

And so you get you a nice pair of wire cutters and crimpers you put the blue in the blue then you just slide

The wire in there and crimp it on a little more challenging

I've got to crawl in this little hole and crimp this one on there. There's very little room to work

Okay, and then once you've got them all crimped give them a nice tug

Make sure they don't come out. They're not gonna come undone

And so there that job's done. I really didn't have anything in my arsenal for tying down the

wire so I just put in a

Little screw here and zip tied and that's gonna keep the wires up and out of the way

All right

so back on the other side of fish my wires through connected them up and set the moment of truth now is

Let's throw the switch and see if we have power

Yep heard the pump kick on let's give it let's let the pressure off. All right, try that again

Yes

We are good we are good to go. All right. Now we got power this is awesome. And that was pretty simple

So here we have our water tank in place and I found out that I did need to bungee it down

Not really because it was moving but because of the pressure from this pipe, which is really rigid

so I just clipped it over the top and then I put a screw in and

To the point where this is not gonna come off and I'll just undo it here won't anybody change it out?

So now well so I found was the tube when I was pushing it in the tube

Which I said tied back there on the wall

So we don't have any pressure on the water pump line of the line going to the water pump

So what I did is I put a little bungee

So what I did is I attached a bungee here and screwed that

To a board up here

and how I did that bungee up there is I got one of these small bungee cords with a clip here and

then I took up I took my

pliers here and then I squeezed this right here real small just to the size where screw could fit through it and

not come out so

One thing I like about these bins is they come in different sizes?

This is a two and a half gallon one and they come in smaller sizes like this one and up with links below to these

But I have a lot of reason I'm doing this way is I have a lot of bin space in

Outside so I can have a bunch of these two and a half gallon ones and just swap it out when I need to

So took one of the tops

And I grabbed a hold of it with my pliers

Like this and

then I got my one inch drill bit and

I went in here and carefully drilled this out

Which splits things apart like this? It's a little mangled

You can even you can see it kind of comes out, but that's okay

We need a little air venting. So you end up with a two piece cap, that looks like this and

Then I'm going to screw that on here

And then we will put our water line in there

It all goes back in here

He gets bungee back in. So one thing you'll see here is that hose is always gonna seem to not get to the bottom

No matter where you put it it moves around and curls around

So what we're gonna have to do is we're gonna have to fix that

Okay. So what I've done here is I've taken just some standard half inch PVC water line and I cut a small piece with these

cutters here, which also works great for cutting

The hose too. And then I use the hairdryer you can use hot water

Just get this in heated up and then just push the pipe in there

It'll stay in and what this does you don't need a whole lot of pipe?

It'll just kind of fend on your water tank. You just kind of try it out. So then I feed this back through

In

There you can see and even though it may move around

It keeps it from curling up and not getting to the bottom of the tank and you do everything back together

I've got it in the tank and say just stays there and so let's push it in and see if it stays in place

Stays put the bungee up there is working. So here we go

Back

Nothing gets cramped everything stays in place and

our water feed stays where it's supposed to be I

Love it. I love it when a plan comes together

It's time to check out our finished project and put it all together. I filled up our water tank here

push in the slide

Close up our cabinet doors

Go over here and we'll turn on our pump, which is pretty cool. It even has a light

Yeah, I pulled eyes from the noise in the back of less rain. It had been raining non-stop for three days

Alright, so we'll turn it on

Even one is still in the low-speed. It's not allowed something. You can't really control the pressure here

Wonderful love it. Love it. Love it

You know

We take having a sink for granted and it looks so simple that people don't really appreciate everything that goes into making it work

So this is this is kind of an abbreviated system

You'll probably want to build something else, but you kind of get an idea for bits and pieces you might want to use
