 good morning today we're gonna try and install this bad boy check out how cool this thing is it's a lot of water for a hopefully hot shower all right guys it looks like I got a few options here these all fit into the big part like that so I got four options there two down sizes to regular sizes and then I have like some elbows and straightaways and down sizes and stuff like that so we need to forget to get the pump that's important so I gotta go back and get the pump all right back to the Batcave I swear the most time-consuming part of any build going to the freaking store I have a feeling I'm gonna be doing multiple trips today actually I know it I feel it within my bones but it's okay once the shower is done I'll be happy and hopefully I won't have to do any major projects ever again on this bus I just so burnout of fixing it or upgrading it because I just want to be on the road want to be like stuck places and fixing stuff all right ladies and gentlemen boys and girls we are back inside Dan the adventure bus the RV tank is back I got plenty of hose for a couple different options we got the correct fittings and also some incorrect fittings these are incorrect these are gray these are for irrigation these are the correct fittings over here these are white these are vinyl nylon nylon so when working with these you have to use the correct one which I learned I also got some elbows also nylon and some threading tape here which is pretty important it is starting to rain a little bit so just kind of throw me off slightly the next order of business is that I need to get a brass fitting for this not for that not for that this is gas that's where the hot water goes to the shower head this is where I need it and I don't really know where I think maybe we're gonna mount it right here and possibly put an inlet right here if that's possible I don't know what's on the other side of this kind of has in it to find out I also need to I need to cut that piece of wood and maybe use four by fours instead of two by fours right here I'm not really sure I'm due to sandwich all right so got the rear I don't know trunk area cleared out I'm thinking to put it right over here so I'm unscrewing the screws I have to pull it out from the bottom because there's nails and then we're gonna cut that side of it and then put the tank right there so I'm playing around with the arrangement and actually this works I put the piece of wood back up there the divider because it actually does come in handy to store things in the front where they're accessible I was more concerned about the surfboard and the snowboard not fitting back here but as you can see there's my snowboarding gear snowboard surfboard plenty of room just have these what this wetsuit backpack and then this surfboard case which I don't really actually even need with me so I think I'm gonna try this because this just seems a little bit easier right guys this is what I'm thinking see we don't have to rip out the bed to install this tank there's plenty of space back here and my toys fit in here as well so I think this is gonna be great it's gonna be easy to set up I just can screw everything in here kind of go up and over and then maybe do one of those thing medrikes if not we'll just do it in the corner and then just make sure when you're filling in the water it's above the level of this so the water drains in there this is just an air vent so I'm not really sure how necessary that would be I could be a kind of temporary thing that I screw on from time to time if I need it and then just close this back up with that piece so again this would be the easiest and probably simplest way to install the water tank let me think I was thinking to put some 4x4's there and there to secure it in place but I just realized I have these strappy things and I can just bolt in here with these hooks go up and over bolt to hook in there and then secure the load down already tools just need to get some screws and I need to get that little thing for the heater so I'll be back I am using one of these ratchet things don't mind the camera part of it I think it was just the only thing I bought at the time and it remembers so anyways a hook down there the ratchet thing keep this thing nice and snug with a little hook down here with the other side of the ratchet and as you can see this baby ain't going nowhere pretty snug not over overly snug but definitely is secure next step we got to put in the pump stuff right here I did manage to screw this in this is just a one by four just a piece of scrap that I picked up at Lowe's that's just nice and flush and screwed in so there's no movement side to side up down anything it's nice and secure I got my I got my haul from O'Reilly's over here it's a really nice guy trying to help me out and then I got my haul from Home Depot clearly I have way too many things here and I got to tell you guys it is aggravating when you talk to different people and they recommend different things and I know there's more than one way to skin a cat but at the same time this is not my expertise and it makes it a million times harder when I get different opinions I just want one simple way to make it work so I don't know if I'm gonna go with this thinner wire over here or if I'm to go with this really thick wire over there I'm honestly a little exhausted and it's raining and I'm mentally just over it I've done already like five trips to Lowe's a trip to O'Reilly's and I'm just alright thank you Aunt Patty for making dinner looks like it's still got a little ketchup on me my dog all right here here's where we are I pulled the positive in negative red and black wires eight gauge all the way up into the battery area I will be connecting those to the batteries to the battery I should say next up just gonna secure the Romex this white wire over there with some of these and then we are going to play around with the positive end of this pump here and this little fuse and also this little switch which lights up when it's on thought it was kind of cool be a cool way to see if it was working the switchers on or off so let's get to work we are now at an impasse I have this fuse hooked up with a little connector right here if you can see that just a crimp connection still out of focus there we go and this will not fit into this piece right here this is eight gauge for anybody who's familiar with electrical and this is 12 gauge I believe let me just double check 12 gauge and so what happens is it it's not gonna work so I do have these other connectors right here these are waterproof so let's go ahead and try that I suppose just as a test okay so let's again just test out this will work this is not the proper length on it either of these it should be in the middle for both of them but as you can see let's put that one in first that one in second both in there oh wow there looks like some kind of waterproof solution jumping out of there and we are secure I believe that would be a connection now I actually didn't think that this was gonna work like that so I guess we can continue on let me show you what's going on inside I ran the wires all the way through into the battery area a little dark in here but I have both the wires here just kind of wrapped around the guys that aim solar have the fuse here that is for the the charger off the alternator right there which charges the solar battery so I'm thinking since I'm not a pro perhaps to follow what they did and put the fuse right on the end here and then just I'd have to connect the red to red and then this fuse to this red hot positive terminal right there next up we are going to make a switch this switch will turn on okay let me see that again this switch will turn blue there's a LED in here it will turn blue when it's on so here is the connections right there if you can see that I know it is out of focus okay forget that we're just gonna make it here we have a switch basically this interrupts the red wire to turn it on and off and then the black is negative and that's how this thing works it was really easy I just put on these adapter things let me see if I can get this in focus finally put on these adapter things there we go squeeze them and then strip the wire that's it really simple so this will be connected directly to the pump here is the I don't want to see finished products it's not finished but here's a product as right now I don't know if this is right but I have all three blacks into one the one off of the switch goes in there the one off this device goes in there and then the one which goes to the battery goes in there again I don't know if it's right there's no other logical explanation how to hook this up now the other one I am pretty sure is correct because this switch is an intermediary between this larger cable here which travels all the way up to the front of the battery goes into the switch and then it goes out of the switch to the pump now that's how it should be hooked up so assuming this is hooked up correctly oh damn it this thing just came out all right gonna put that back on so we have red and black red and black red and black coming up to here red and black these places for some lighting over here okay red and black so black I put this terminal on that's gonna go to black over here I got a heat shrink that already clamped it the red thick wire came out I did it another one hey did another little claspy waterproof thing there here's a fuse and then I have another terminal thing which goes on red positive I do need to get a fuse for the little fuse thing here
