Creating and Fitting the Water Tank | Van Build Ep.36
Visit thedour.co.uk/ and use code MYVANWORLD5 at checkout for a discount.
In this episode, Becca and her dad, Nick continue with the van build by adding the external water fill up point (THE LAST EXTERNAL HOLE IN THE VAN!!) and get yet ANOTHER LEAK when they attach the water tank to it. The water tank, which they have to customise and drill into, to create connections for the external fill up point.
More work is done on the Simploo connection, more painting gets done and they finish off a few odd jobs - like adding the headboard and installing the Truma interface.

Thank you:) You're telling me! I've grafted so hard this last year trying to rebuild my life, not just the van but work etc too. It's been long but totally worth it. xx
You could use a large yoghurt pot or something similar, cut it in half and stick it to the toilet to act as a cover for the extractor fan
I can not wait x
Well done miss delightful,getting there❤

As always 🙏
The water filler cap getting drilled in place was satisfying to watch 😅 its so exciting how jobs are getting done ✔️ 🎉
Just a heads up, when fitting pipe work gently heat the ends up to soften it then fit and tighten the jubilee clips.also try and make sure no ply edges are touching the pipe as slight movement can damage the pipe. Great team work and l like what you are both doing. I am 40 years boat building and wouldn’t want to see your pipe work fail👍👌
The reason you had your leak is that you are using the wrong type of clamp for that hose. Corrugated hose needs double wire hose clamps sonthat it fits either side of the raised parts of the hose giving a better seal. Fantastic build so far and kudos to your dad for sorting the 240v electrics out
Good quality build and was very impressed with the cable routing thro the air pipe amazing what you can come up with using common sense and logic :)

It's amazing what dad's sacrifice for their daughter's I'd literally sacrifice my life for mine, bless him but a drill is going to far now 😂
Wow. You’ve achieved so much in this video. It’s coming together really quickly now. Most impressive!💖

The clip on the water pipe!!! You can get one that looks like two wires I think they're good for corrugated pipe. Come on dad that's technical 👍😂🤣😂 looking good.
I like that green, we use similar on our beach hut and it is good when the dogs shake themselves off. It camouflages the dirt a bit so you don't need to keep cleaning constantly, a quick wipe over after the last walk of the day is all that is needed,.

That green is a wow statement. The bulkhead looks amazing just with the undercoat. I couldn't believe that you got your dad on his back trying to drill the hole for the toilet. On about your dad with all the tools that you used to make a small hole. I was expecting the music from the Italian job to be played in the background with the bit about blowing the doors off. The roller door is amazing that a small Welsh company helped build the van and what exposure they will get. Keep up the pace and you will be all set for Christmas wild camp.

Standard jubilee clips don't work on that type of pipe. Need to use a double wire clip to get a strong seal

Keep your eye on the water tank filler pipe. It might not leak now but constant driving around might break the silicone seal

Hey Becca 😊 I’ve not seen many builds use single cables vs the std twin core red and black type. When you mentioned the volt drop issue It got me wondering, what size and type of cable did you install? You can never tell with wide angle cameras but some look quite skinny plus, if a little fan draws too much power to be an issue I’m worried they might be undersized. Honestly, just concerned and no way a dig at the build, if followed it from the start 👍🏼 Atb Ant
Doing fantastic. It's really talking shape now.

Hi Becca, its all coming along nicely, fantastic of Roldo0r to reach out to you, so lovely of them, I have a serious question..when this is all done and complete, how are we going to get our fix of "The Legend Nick"? can you possibly persuade your dad to start his own channel? All the very best to you from Nick in Wolsingham x

So kind of them, I’m very grateful. Haha I’ve already asked him a while ago & it was a no. I asked to do a q&a & that was also no. He’s more than happy to help me but this isn’t his dream, it’s mine. He will of course appear on the odd video after the build, he is my pops after all. Perhaps I’ll go stay somewhere with the rents in their motorhome & me in my van & film it… he’ll be around 🥰
Congrats on 5k Subs.

With the shaped fresh water tank, how come you didn’t mount it against the side wall over the wheel arch?
@myvanworld
9 ай бұрын
It didn’t sit on the floor - the wheel arch is too high, and also the bed strats would have needed to go through it. We put it as close to the wall as possible to get the bed in too 😊 I’ll use that space down the side for storage instead.
Why is the toilet fan not on the "dry end" of the pipe?...
Hi Becca, Could you adapt an underwater camera case to fit around your toilet filter??😎
