Such a great and easy solution, you wonder why the manufacturer didn’t think of it. The pressure in some taps is ridiculously high so you would need to ensure you connection are really secure though. Thanks for sharing!
@@FamilyEscapeAustralia I’m thinking of doing this now but using the plumbing style push on fittings they use on the pumps rather than garden fittings due to the pressures involved. Going to view the recirculating idea for the hot water next. Our second hand trooper has a 100L drinking water tank and 2x 60L water tanks. We can only shower for a very short time with this set up. Crazy, so we’re looking to upgrade to larger tanks if possible or switch with the 100L tank.
That's a good idea. Just remember you need to be careful not to over pressurise your tanks. The more water you can carry, the better in our opinion. Cheers for watching. 🍻
Over kill i n my opinion I just fill from the bottom of the on at at time when needed or both when needed much simpler. Only travel with one tank of water and leave the front tank enpty

You can always get a pressure reducer which is required for a filter anyway. Should be filtering in anywhy
I see what you did there! A well placed Journey in the background. Good content. Cheers fam.
Haha coincidental! Although we had a good chat with them. Honestly had the best times in our Journey and at times even miss it. Thanks for watching 😊
Ingenious, what a great hack, i will be doing this on our freelander sooner rather than ;later, thanks mate
Thanks for watching 😊

@@FamilyEscapeAustralia
@anthonybissett5540, it's all 12mm polly. The receipt at the end had all the info on it.
That’s an awesome idea 👍👍
Cheers. Hopefully, it becomes a standard feature.
Did that to my van last year also run my breather’s halfway up the front van
Awesome, makes it so much easier!
great tip mate. safe travels
Thanks. You too. 👍
Where is the video showi g how to suck water out from elswhere using the water pump in thd van
Metal pipe clamps the cable ties are not UV stable
We will look to do this if they fail. They dont get too much sun. Thanks for the tip 👍.
@@FamilyEscapeAustraliajust like regular servicing mate change em every 50 000 good video mate
