Just in case anyone was wondering the "garden hose adapter" is 3/4” GHT Female x 3/4” NPT Male Connector, GHT to NPT Adapter Brass Fitting. Thanks for a great vid, couldn't seem to find anyone else that will show how to do any of this and your explanations were on point!

I could hear all the trolls lose their minds when he said "he wasn't a plumber and he didn't care." Lol just a good dude making a video for everyone to enjoy

Exactly.

So an easy tip to help make it fool proof for not getting tanks switched. On your quick connects put male on one tank female on the other when and if possible. I do this any time I hook up multiple tanks for a project, I also do it with 12v wiring that has to have removable connections to keep from crossing positive and negative on hook up

When you said you were just using the cold, I thought, ahh cover the hot too! We did the same with our washer

Not sure if those hose quick connects are unidirectional or not, but it might be worth putting the male side on one tank and the female side on the other tank, that way you can't accidentally hook up the grey water tank to the pump.

Why even have quick connects on the gray water? Just put the hose a couple inches into the jug.

I think all you had to do was put the drain jug on its side with the opening at the top and it would work fine without cutting a hole in the floor.

You should split the water supply to the faucet through both the hot and cold, because that pipe you've blanked off will create a dead head of water which will go stale and potentially contaminate the supply.

Quick tip: If you swap the fittings on the quick connects, you can put a male on one jug, and a female on the other jug so that you can't get them mixed up.

Very cool! I actually have a car hauler I will be adding a sink to (and water free toilet!) so this is such a practical application of what is needed. Thank you! May just add solar to the system as well!

I've seen a few of your videos on this project and they'veall been helpfl.I especially like how you do solid, thoughtful work, but still show all the dumbass moments. Reminds me that we all do that sort of thing.

You might want to consider hooking the hot side up to a splitter on the pump outlet, that way you get maximum flow regardless of the handle's temperature position. You can always remove the splitter later when you get hot water.

Too funny...I saw the leak from the hot water side coming. Don't ask me how I know but I may have experienced the same thing recently in a pool house remodel. ha. Keep up the good work. Always enjoy following along with your projects.

Thanks for sharing , another project for me to do before a go to Quartzite 😁👍🏽

Nice job, pal. You know...in a lot of these projects, you don't even end up saving an appreciable amount of money. But, the big payoff knowing that you can come up with a clever idea and make it work. Great video.

I was trying to figure how to hook up to the same kind of fresh water tank. Thanks for the info. Btw, I had the same problem with using a hot/cold faucet but went to the plumbing supply and just got a cap to screw on the hot inlet because I didn't want the hose attached and hanging down as it would hold water and be a problem when freezing weather comes. LOL, fortunately I thought about that before trying to run water thru it.

Nice. Be well and stay safe. UK.

I've been playing around with Camp trailers, gear haulers and RV since forever.... nice job!!! I was wondering if by pumping/sucking the water you might create a vacuum in your fresh water jug and need to "vent" it to break the vacuum, but it appears it worked.

Yes. I don’t care what the threads are called as long as the pieces fit together. 👍

Make up a Y connector to connect the fresh water hose to the sink faucets. When you winterize, just disconnect the hose from the Y to drain. You don't run the risk of forgetting to uncap the line on the hot water side, as you have it now. Don't ask me how I know that hot water side capped hose with water in it will burst when it freezes.

Oh my gosh, F ing amazing. I built a cargo trailer, tiny house and my water system sucks. You rock Dude.

I was thinking about this sort of thing, and this is a pretty good solution. Now all you need is some sort of purification system (which is probably in another video I'll find in a few seconds). "And dump it in your neighbor's yard." LOL

Love it!

Great video! I'm having a hard time with my sink bowl drainage in my cargo trailer camper conversion 3rd time it's broke on me at the bottom of the sink, when i'm tryring to disconnect the grey water to the container. My setup is just have a pvc pipe going straight into my grey water container like yours, but no quick connects. My facet is simple just one those hand pump ones that you move the lever back and forth to have water. I don't know what i'm doing wrong..

First time here, will subscribe, like when u make fun of your own mistakes

Love the video, you explain it beautifully, I was wondering if you can provide me with all the names of the small contractors that you are using , and where to get the hose adapter. Thanks.

Great video, thank you! Following instructions now and the outlet from the sink trap is 3/4 OD and the hose is 1/2ID. How did you get it to fit without an adapter? Even with your instructions I still spent 2 hours in the hardware store!

Don't forget to open the vents on the water jugs. New sub.

I was watching Crime TV, glad I switched - feels good to laugh. Wow - your Daughter carried that 7 gallon Jug !?!

Awesome video! I liked your sink setup and step by step instructions. Also think that little battery pack is a must have after seeing this.

Cool thank you

Great job! To solve the hot water issue next time, just tie the two lines together.

Well, great to have a muscle man to lift out that gray water when it's full. Works for you but not so much for ladies. Like the concept, wondering if alternative location might work. Also wondering if you could run freshwater intake to exterior of camper with a cover. Ditto the drain of the gray water tank. Now that would be AWESOME. Oh, and another thought, hot water tank or bladder on the roof, sunny heats it, no need for extra heating, gravity fed. Obviously you would have additional gray water tank for that.

here's my 2 cents.... run another quick connect line to outside for the gray water (set up tank outside or run onto the ground)....use both tanks for fresh water and add another line off the pump for a portable propane tankless water heater for the outside shower.

I especially love how after he said, “I’m not a plumber and I don’t care” he still got all the comments on what he “should have” done. Lolol🤪

I love this entire video but my favorite part is " Just take it outside and dump it...in your neighbors yard" lol

Top marks that man. Whats it like in the wind will it stay upright?

Could you share with me where and what I can get a 2" adaptor flexible drain with which I am thinking about connecting to a Alkay D11515 sink, 2" drain connection. Thank you.

Hey man! Any chance you could post what garden hose adapters you used? I’ve tried just about every one of em in the hardware stores and none of them will fit the threads to my caps. Thanks!

Do you have a link to the garden hose adapters that you screwed the quick connects into? I just bought a couple from Lowes and just found out that the threads won’t work with my jug caps. I have the same exact jugs as you by the way

I didn't see if you reverst the quick coupler to avoid cross contamination, we do it with our hidriulic line to keep the lever the same diretion

Good stuff 👍

Hi, cant seem to find the garden hose adapters you're using. It's 3/4” GHT Female x 3/4” NPT Male Connector?

dude do you have full walk through pictures? I really like your design. I've got a prototype sketched out that's similar to this in many ways. Only difference is I plan on only having a full size murphy bed. It'll be side ways though. When it folds up it will have a wrap around couch underneath it. And a marine style table that can pop up from the floor. My thought was I can keep a lot of storage space, have a nice lounge and dining area, and I'd get to have a set bed that requires minimal set up. Also toyed with the idea of having a thinner twin size murphy bed that would be hidden under by the main bed until it's pulled down. Also since I don't want a wet-bath, I'm planning on having the toilet pull out and under it would be the shower basin and use salon doors so they swing shut when it's pulled out, but fold against the wall when it's pushed in. Also I haven't purchased the trailer yet. I want a 12 by 7 but I think my design would be easier to do with a 14 by 7. One thing I'm confused about is if the v nose counts towards the length. If it does then I'll need the 14ft by if not I think I could make the 12ft work with like a 48" nose.

I’m going to do a full walk through soon. I’ve got to replace the ac first. The v doesn’t count in the length but I would recommend the 14’. I wish I had those two extra feet.

Yeah i know i got a expensive quicky saw and a pvc saw lucky me. Also a crappy hack saw. Started in plumbing with a hack saw. They still threw the pipe back because they expected straight pipe on the cut.

I noticed you have a screen door, where did you get it?

lol I did catch it. I laughed cause I knew what happen... Also it would have been easier to attache the barb to the pump first then hook the hose and then clamp it so you didn't have to flip the hose around trying to screw in the barb to the pump. I haven't gotten to the water being turned on yet. But I'm guessing the leak at the beginning of the video was because the Hot water line was not hooked up or capped.

LOL knew it.. You could have done a T and connected both the Cold and Hot water to the main hose, it should give you more pressure, if you need it that is.

Hey dude I'm watching your sink and water video might I make a suggestion it might be a good idea to use an inline water filter to get the nasty stuff out and give you great tasting water !!!!???? Also the reason why you sink isn't draining properly it's not breathing you have to open the breather hole on the other end of the container

Is the water safe to drink with the outside of the pvc pipe being in the water? I am wondering if the ink for the letters is safe.

air vent for the grey water

Curious about the pump operation…is it always on? Is there a switch? Does it come on only when you open the faucet?

@HAXMAN

It only comes on when you open the faucet.

90 degree elbows on top of the jugs would help not only with clearance but also hose kinking.

Why didn't you put a 90 degree elbow on the gray tank connection?

Use different color jugs, fresh water smaller than drain. Maybe run the drain to under the trail and put gray tank under the trailer, use water tank or boat gas tank.

Bluetti is neat but yesh that thing is not cheap. You should build a DIY version using Optima batteries and a standalone inverter. You'd get DAYS worth of battery life not hours. You could wire it up to 12v aux in the trailer plug to charge off your vehicle or use any generic solar panel as well. Just food for thought. Love your content.
