"Fitter" is exactly the right english word for what you are doing on the installation - but the design and build of this project, particularly the tank support brackets is called "sheer genius" ! Beautiful job Christian.
I love all of your videos! My first Land Rover was a new, 1973 L88 3 door with safari roof that I bought in Denver, Colorado USA. Then a 1999 Discovery II, a 2009 Range Rover HSE Sport and now I drive a very civilized 2016 LR4 (disco4) HSE LUX V6 supercharged petrol. I bought it used with 74.800 miles, 1 owner, it looks brand new, for $25.000 US dollars! I am a cleaning freak, just like Christian and adorable Vera! I installed interior Land Rover Rubber Matts, and cleaned the interior with sprays and brushes, compressed air and lots of vacuuming. The interior looks brand new! No scratches. I washed the engine bay with brushes, compressed air, degrease the engine components, and hose it down where water is allowed. Your videos are very instructional and straight to the point, without the extra useless comments found in other videos. My next task is to de-clog the sunroof hoses, because we moved from Utah to Florida where we have torrential rains just about every day. Keep up the great work!
You sound just like Christian, that is so great. I hope you can have as much fun in Florida as in Utah with your Discovery. Been to both states, but more often to Utah with our Jeeps when we were living in Michgan. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Fantastic work Christian, a very involved project involving lots of various tools and design, Vera will no doubt have been the main brains behind the operations but too modest to let it be filmed 😉👍. Fabian should be able to get tax relief as his vehicle can also act as a fire fighting vehicle now 😀
Mr Mechanical Engineer/Designer/Author. Hi, I am mesmerized about the intrinsicacies of your engineering design for a pressurized camping shower. You call yourself a "fitter". Very humble. I don't know your location but I guess you are maybe in Australia. I love your video because that reminds me of my dad. He was an Accountant in Ecuador. He was always reading Popular Mechanics and Reader Digests in Spanish. He had every tool he could use for his mechanical/electrical projects. I see that you have a wife that is supervising your work. I am trying to find a way to make a camping shower also but it will be much simpler in comparison to yours. I am converting my Yukon SUV on an off-road vehicle. Good luck on your endeavors. I am a retired surgeon living in the state of Washington, USA. Jose Ramon
We live in Germany. Took many trips out to Washington and Oregon. Even hiked up Mount Rainer to the first camp one time. Saw Seattle and Victoria, Olympic NP. Great state. Christian
I would love to hear more on you theory of "do not rotate" when assembling PVC parts with PVC cement?? I was always taught a 1/4 turn to help the glue engage with the parts and help eradicate air bubbles!! Love the M6 allen's holding on the cover half's and the addition of the O ring was about a "German engineering" as it gets . Great project Great result!!
OMG that is awesome Christian/Vera/Fabian. You must of squeezed hours upon hours of work into this 38 minute video. This is the BEST Landrover Channel on TH-cam. I am surprised you haven't been offered your own show on the Discovery Channel by now.
💪🙏Yes we are kind of bummed about that too. 😅 Just kidding, but yes, we spend for every TH-cam video endless hours in the workshop / garage, and most importantly, on the editing process. In all, often 20 hours or more each week. But we love it. Thanks for noticing, few do that. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
A lot of the things you have done i.e the heating for the roof top tent an the shower I also had experience of on my liveaboard boat , I was much more trail an error an copius amounts of bad language than you two but I got my chinese heating to work and also used the exhaust to make a coil heater for my water, using brake piping . TH-cam is a fantastic learning tool an you are wonderful teachers.
I must commend you on the outstanding level of perfection for this shower. I have been looking to build my own version and this is the cleanest I have seen.
Another great video thanks but here in Australia there has been a wake up call on roof racks and roof load limits. You will find that on the D3/4 that the dynamic load limit is 75kg. That includes the weight of the rack as well as anything else attached. Take care!
Ist das geil - sowas will ich auch für meinen Discovery 4!!! Das ist super gemacht und beschrieben. Baust Du das auch, oder weißt jemanden der das nach Deiner Anleitung macht - absolut fantastisch - super!😍😍😄
Love this project. Vera, when Christian isn't looking get some glue and stick one of each type of bolt or washer to the front of your spares rack drawers and so you will then know what is in each drawer😁🤫
Im a DIY guy to i try to do everything my self but i wish i only wish i was us smart and i had the patience of christian!! Hi from Melbourne Australia good job mate!!
Always impressive, the job you do. Thanks for another feat of German engineering. I use a 2 gallon stainless steel garden sprayer that I can heat on my cook stove and it is also able to be pressurized.
Christian , does your talent know no limits ? That has got to be the best accessory for carrying water Iv seen , don’t know if Fabian is a relative or not but Iv decided to adopt both you and Vera and come and live with you The 2 of us the 4 children , 6 grand children and associated pets will not take up much room , we will be bringing the Disco 3 and the Freelander 2 with us so you have something to play with 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I noticed 2 innuendos 😂😂😂😂 fantastic video again Christian hopefully you are around for a good chat and a beer when I visit Germany next September 2022
You have really excelled and bonus was you got to use the the fly cutter ,the 3D printed cover made this professional work ...thanks for all the hard work you put in you have me thinking about going to a D3 with all your maintenance /repair video's to help keep one running ,my 21 year old D2 is far less complicated but not as comfortable but I don't worry about scratching it 😃
I would take a D2 any day. Unfortunately, because of the emission standards in our area, I'll have to wait until the D2 turns 30. Then you can apply for a historical plate and emissions do not matter anymore. That is Germany😥. But we do not worry about scratiching our D3 also. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
I have been a mechanic for 38 yrs and also now own my own repair garage and I absolutely detest Land Rover Discoverys...but since watching your extremely well made, informative and humorous videos I find myself looking at them for sale, what have you done.
I love this build. So much more engineering than i expected. Or should i expect this level? ☺ i love this blacked out, decked out disco. Those dark windows really help to make it look great. Thanks for another great video.
As always an awesome job, plus being a qualified plumbing and heating engineer I must give u 10/10 for taking such care and attention to detail, did make me smile when I saw the old school hemp , alas couldn’t use it on mains water because of legionaries , ur talents are endless , plus of course the boss Vera , thanks again as ur videos seem to surpass the previous one , stay safe and well, ps , hope my email came through ok to u , gary
Christian, Vera, it is a pleasure watching you guys. Christian your engineering is 👏 and Vera you bring the charm. I loved my 10 years in Germany in the Forces and might have to come back for more. Keep up the fantastic work 👌
Very well designed and built. One question: why is the head of your snorkel facing the rear of the vehicle?…I’ve never seen them fitted this way, but believe some people think it stops rain ingress, and others argue that the air is no longer “pushed” into the snorkel…your reason?
Well, the grey pipes are drainage pipes and that's excactly what they look like. There was no question about painting those pipes, it looks so much better than the original plumbing grey. When you see the car in front of you, it does look like a badass beast.😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I have a disco 5 and a Front Runner Rack but I'm either looking to mount it on the side or make a smaller one that would mount inside or like on top of the roof rack towards the rear since I carry a roof tent on top too. It would make it a bit smaller in capacity but I don't really have room for anything else on there once the tent is on. However the shower would off set the awning on the other side though.
Wow,1st class job,seriously,you could manufacture these and make serious money.I like it.very clever.can you do a project where you fit solar panels on the roof of the d3 to off grid power a fridge freezer…..
Es ist ein einfache aber sehr schöne Lösung. Leider passt es nicht ganz auf mein Jeep. Ich würde nur ein Wasserschuss in die Mitte machen wie bei tanklkw's. Durch das Schuss ist er etwas ruhiger im Tank.
hey guys. An interesting issue has come out of my home country reguarding ROOF RACKS. Its about the load capacity. Discovery 4 has 71.8kg LESS the weight of the roof rack. We have had a few roof racks leave their vehicles on the highway and off road. After seeing your explanation of wheel spacers, i thought i would bring to your attention a possible "insurance / warranty" killer.
@@Vera_and_Christian we have the rediculous situation where the roof rack costs around 500euro yet can only carry 50kg on some models. Very expensive toy, hahahaha
I’ve never seen rope fibers used to seal brass pipe threads. Why did you use them for some threads and Teflon tape for others? Great build. I enjoy the vids
Simply genius! Particularly liked the 3D printed cover. Over engineered? Never!
Many men envy (either secretly or openly) your workshop setup. I love watching your videos. Thank you.
"Fitter" is exactly the right english word for what you are doing on the installation - but the design and build of this project, particularly the tank support brackets is called "sheer genius" !
Beautiful job Christian.
Man, this is some engineering! Valve covers and brackets blowed me away
I don't even want a shower. I don't even own a discovery. Your videos are just so entertaining and instructional I keep watching them. Good job.
😅🙏🙋♀️Vera
Christian, you will never cease to amaze us. Great idea and implementation 👍👍👍
The most entertaining 37m 48s I've spent for a while. Beautiful work!
Hello Steven,

I was really disappointed that Vera didn't demonstrate using the shower!
Good job. Very professional and thought out. 😁
Brilliant design and build Christian. Excellent video. You and Vera crack me up with your comments to each other. Thanks.

You can't beat German engineering!! Hervorragend!!!
He’s like the Dr. Frankenstein of Land Rovers
😅 but I hope you don't mean that we created a ugly monster. 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian no ugly monster as he would have stainless steel bolts in his neck and a machined finish
Blew me away with the cover for the regulator end 🤯 really love watching your attention to detail 👍👍

That is far away. Thanks. Christian
25:33 was the most beautifully German expressionism I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.
once i saw the 3d printed cap, i switched off the tv. :D Amazing Guys
He is a really skilled person.
Wow!
Yes Fitter, that is correct, a dying breed.
Another LR classic 🤩
I must commend you on the outstanding level of perfection for this shower. I have been looking to build my own version and this is the cleanest I have seen.

This is one of my very favourite channels, I always have a smile at the end.
Impressed in so many ways.

Oh leider machen wir das nicht. Abe ich bearbeite den Christian mal soweit das er die Teile Liste auf Patreon veröffentlicht. 👍🙋♀️
Just wonderfully built with ❤…. New benchmark has been set for my (DSU) Defender Shower Unit
Love this project. Vera, when Christian isn't looking get some glue and stick one of each type of bolt or washer to the front of your spares rack drawers and so you will then know what is in each drawer😁🤫

Im a DIY guy to i try to do everything my self but i wish i only wish i was us smart and i had the patience of christian!! Hi from Melbourne Australia good job mate!!
Congratulations!!!! This is the most insane shower build anyone ever did.
One of the BEST vlogs I've ever watched. Amazing work. With a few laughs chucked in aswell. 👌👌👌👍
Always impressive, the job you do. Thanks for another feat of German engineering. I use a 2 gallon stainless steel garden sprayer that I can heat on my cook stove and it is also able to be pressurized.
Awesome. It's like a recycled U-boat torpedo shower
Excellent job. Christian, don't you want to come live here? 😉 Fabian is a lucky guy. A hug from Portugal
😅🙋♀️ Vera
Wow what a great job ! Very impressive
Queen Vera has a LR3 Palanquin! Great project!
Tolle Inspiration und Anleitung! Danke!
Amazing. Incredible attention to detail. Love to watch engineering like this. 👍👍👍😊
Impressive work ! Subscribed.
Top notch engineering. I loved the 3d printed cover
You are correct...Fitter, I learnt the trade of Fitter and Turner in Cape Town for a shipbuilder and marine engineering company.,..,.,👍🏻
Christian , does your talent know no limits ?
That has got to be the best accessory for carrying water Iv seen , don’t know if Fabian is a relative or not but Iv decided to adopt both you and Vera and come and live with you
The 2 of us the 4 children , 6 grand children and associated pets will not take up much room , we will be bringing the Disco 3 and the Freelander 2 with us so you have something to play with 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅👍 We certainly have enough room. 🙋♀️Vera
Christian, wow!wow!
Great design over engineered ! Never ! great work guys look forward to your vids cheers Darrell
I noticed 2 innuendos 😂😂😂😂 fantastic video again Christian hopefully you are around for a good chat and a beer when I visit Germany next September 2022

More ‘Cardboard Aided Design’ (CAD) 😂. Well done guys. 💪
I LOVE watching all your videos, your humor is exceptional - and your engineering is even better!
😃👍 Thank you Iain 🙋♀️ Vera
love the German engineering !!!
Excellent. Christian you should work for Land Rover on their design team, then everything will fit as it should and also work properly !!
Christian and Vera yet another fantastic video from you both,,,)))))🇬🇧❤️
Well done Vera.
Great build! German engineering
Maybe is a stupid question. How many litters can be stored? Thank you and you are doing a very nice job guys!
Wow, I am so so impressed with your skills and attention to detail. I’m struggling to find the superlatives to give justice to this “home” build 👍
I love this build. So much more engineering than i expected. Or should i expect this level? ☺ i love this blacked out, decked out disco. Those dark windows really help to make it look great.

One question: why is the head of your snorkel facing the rear of the vehicle?…I’ve never seen them fitted this way, but believe some people think it stops rain ingress, and others argue that the air is no longer “pushed” into the snorkel…your reason?
Takes 1.5L less per 100km and less wind noise. Christian
Wont be Long before we see Christian and vera on the moon in there own rocket.😂
😅👍 🙋♀️ Vera
Great ingenuity !
I love your videos guys, i look forward to the next one .
Brilliant 👍🏻🇬🇧
Sorry I'm petty but it is not a cleaner, it's a primer.
And the glue is actually cement.
Very good work👍🏽
Fantastic design and execution. I did not understand why you paint the pvc pipe.
Well, the grey pipes are drainage pipes and that's excactly what they look like. There was no question about painting those pipes, it looks so much better than the original plumbing grey. When you see the car in front of you, it does look like a badass beast.😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
