It’s ok to have motivation lacking days, be kind to yourself always!! Always love your work 👏🏻👍🏻☮️

I love videos like these. it proves that anyone can do these things.

Unistrut! That's the answer I've been looking for! This is the 5th video I've watched about hanging tanks and the first one that didn't have me questioning their attachment methods.

So you drilled a hole and stuck your big drain pipe through it, and it was all good!! I don't know why you wouldn't want that on the Tube. You did great work on this one Justin. Plumbing sucks and so much can get jacked up in the process, but you did it and it all worked. Maybe some better lube would've helped you out, but you got it done. You put a lot of work into this build for your friends, and it looks like you did some pretty good work. Maybe not all perfect, or how you would've liked, but you got it done. I say that's a total win.

Great video. I'm an industrial fitter and worked on water management plants. Spring washers were the best solution for machinery and pumps where vibration was an issue. I used copper grease for assembly of parts so the spring washers were all I had to stop bolts and fixtures from coming loose.

Sounds like burnout man. We all have our limits, plumbing also gave me the same weird feeling. I think it's just because this stuff tends to get done later in the build and the fear of having to rewind an already long build is always worrisome.

Yeah I do like plumbing but the consequences are also a little worrisome if anything goes wrong. Totally get what you mean!!!

You are such a special family through you have subbed to some amazing bus channels ..you are.so talented thanku so much for everything much love and God bless always from Cyprus x

Those are some heavy duty tanks. Great work on the install. ✌️

In low clearance areas, you can ensure your nuts do not vibrate loose by 1) using double nuts 2) drilling and tapping in a grub screw 3) drill through and use wire or a cotter pin 4) or in a pinch put a dab of JBWeld or thread sealer on the threads directly above the nut (it'll take a lot to back up the threads).

Thanks for all of those ideas. thread sealer certainly would have been better than my last minute silicone job. I didn't realize doubling up the nuts would work.

I like the thread sealer or jb weld idea. Drilling holes for wire or pin sounds tedious but easier to work with later. Thank you!!

@@MobileDwellings normal nuts height extend beyond the threads a small amount. Thus when two nuts attempt to butt up against eachother they will bind with a considerable amount of force. The they cannot move again until you create a gap in between them. It’s handy if you think you may need to make adjustments or remove them in the future. Locktite thread sealer or JB weld take heat or a grinder to break loose.

@@r8edrv4fun65 to be honest the the only areas where drilling and wiring is really done is in aircraft/aerospace. Places where if a nut comes loose and falls free it will destroy the entire engine and probably cause serious risk of death.

Hey, Red thread locker would work better for those threaded rods and bolts. That silicone would likely interfere with it working properly. So cleaning off the silicone would be a good idea. Maybe even replacing the rods and bolts with new. Just to make sure it's good. Your silicone idea might work but, I'd rather see something that is made to keep bolts from falling off. 😃 I really like your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Yep silicone doesn’t actually stick to anything. Just pulls right off in chunks.

dish soap such as dawn make a good lube for rubber fittings and hoses

Also PVC primer BURNS if it touches your hands. I spilled a whole tiny can like that covering my hand and man.. that was a rough 20 minutes scrubbing that off.

yup... thats going on the overland pickup

Nice video! Thanks for taking the time to film and share. I’m curious though, how did the pee pipe, without a p-trap work for you after some use?

@MobileDwellings

Жыл бұрын

This particular unit did not work long term for Sam and Katy. They swapped it out for a HEPVO valve. A P trap would not work because it would be full of urine unless you followed urine with water/vinegar every time. Even then the gases can escape through a P trap when the bus drives around but only in extreme conditions (bumpy off road driving)

@@MobileDwellings I just couldn’t resist the pun 😊. Good to know I’m on the right track with my thought process. We are getting ready to install our grey water tank and will definitely be using some of the tricks you shared! Thanks again

Do you have any issues with smells coming up from the tank through the pee line?

Did you buy the 4" Koehler valve gasket from Home Depot?

Did the valve end up working? Was it too stinky? Did you eventually keep it or change it?

That Aquaphor is not designed for such a large hole. 😜

What did you mount the unistruts with just screws?

What did you use to hold the uni strut up to the bus? Self tapping screws?

@MobileDwellings

Жыл бұрын

bolts, nuts, and washers when there was an L shaped framing member. Each unistrut got 2 sets of bolts, nuts, and washers I believe. The rest of the framing members were U shaped and I couldn't reach behind them so they got big self-tapping screws.

So having your tanks exterior like that. During the winter. Won't it freeze?

Tank sensors don’t work. Good idea but they end up not working. Ask anyone who’s ever owned an RV. Great choice with uni-struts.

Ouch. Silicone to prevent nuts from backing off will not do anything. Lock washers work fine. Lock washers in conjunction with blue or red locktite should have been used.

Not a fan having the weight of gallons of water dangling by threaded rods.

Vent the tank through roof if it’s going have urine.

Give yourself permission to be human! Everyone gets worn to a frazzle when you are responsible for everything. Take a couple of days off and rest. Go on a picnic with the family. Take a nap outside and relax. Then take a look at how much you have finished and congratulate yourself. You are doing fine!

If you don't have thread sealant nail polish works really well
