Vlog 75: Water Works

Posted on February 10, 2023February 21, 2023 by David Johns

Having replaced the sink in the new worktop, I needed to sort out the sink outlet for waste water and the supply pipe from the main tank. This proved irritatingly troublesome, as you will see!

Another classic case of frustration and banging my head against the wall as I try to fix the new campervan worktop in place whilst also making it removable in case I need to do so in future.

Vlog 73: Sink Hole

Posted on January 21, 2023January 21, 2023 by David Johns

While the new diesel heater ran for two hours as per the installation instructions, I didn’t want to leave it unattended so I turned my attention to cutting the new worktop including holes for the sink and tap (faucet).

This is part 2 of a project to remove all gas (propane) from my self-built campervan and replace it with a lithium battery system with induction cooktop and diesel heater. In this part, I take out the gas pipes and remove the hob & sink as well as the Propex heater unit.

Vlog 45: A Tap on the Head

The tap that came with the sink unit in the campervan turns out to be rubbish as the pipe junction from the supply tank is just held in with fresh air and hope – in other words, not held in at all, so recently it began spraying water all around the tank area instead of sending it up to the sink. Thus I bought a new tap and fitted that, as shown in this video.

In this video I show how I screwed the sink into place on the worktop, using the supplied fixings, demonstrate a silly design flaw in my inverter, and go into further detail about the Propex heater installation, looking at the exhaust and air inlet pipe routing through the floor of the van. This involved drilling holes in the van floor – a nervewracking experience!

Vlog 17: That sinking feeling

Posted on June 4, 2018June 1, 2020 by David Johns

This is an update video really, partly showing the hole I cut in the kitchen worktop for the combined Smev 9722 hob and sink unit and partly giving a demonstration of the bed/seat/storage system. I also show the water storage under the sink again, repeating myself from the last vlog because I’m old and forgetful – sorry!
