BUILD- Plumbing and electric fitoffs

We push on with the build, concentrating on the plumbing. Mark fitted inlet pipes to 2 of the 3 water tanks. The tank 1 (front) is 170L and tank 2 (middle) is 85L. 

The 3rd tank (back) is 40L and will not be plumbed into the water system and will be used as an outdoor tap. It was also originally going to be our waste/grey water tank but we couldn't get the fall required to it. This is why we built a waste water tank into the bottom of a tool box. Mark finished fitting the waste pipe to this box.

Next Mark had to cut the bench tops to fit the sinks and the oven. The waste pipes were finished off to the sinks.

Then Mark installed the water pump bringing the water separately from Tank 1 and 2. There is a filter connected only to the cold water hose going into the kitchen tap. We also have a inline filter for when we are filling up from dubious water sources. 

Then the hot water heater, bathroom tap and shower heads (bathroom and external), were all connected.

Now we installed the bathroom door from The Showerscreen Factory in Epping. We were very happy with the features of the door including the opaque glass, travel lock and water channel.

We also fixed a rod up for a shower curtain to mainly protect the heater fan head fitted in the vanity.

Finally Mark put silicone on all the internal edges and around the vanity and toilet.

In between the plumbing being done, Justin and Mia from Lumitec came for the final fitoff. 

A solenoid was fitted to connect the cab fuse box only after the truck has started. We also installed Victron trickle charger for the truck batteries.

Mark brought through the wires for Safety Dave's reversing camera and the UHF radio which connected to the fuse box installed in the cab behind the dash.

Another project we accomplished was the curtain for the crawl through. We managed to find an anchoring point that we could drill into just above the opening. The upholsterers that made our seat cushions, kindly gave us some extra material which was used to make the curtains. The material was quite thick and has good blockout as well as matching the dinette.

Other tasks this week included, cutting down the mud guards, putting the rubber seal around the door and finishing off the cabinetry of the dinette cupboards.
