  • In today's video we share with you the pros and cons of using ProPEX piping for the water system in your van, give a demonstration of how it works, then a full tour of the installation into a 144 van. Specifically this is the water system used for the Infinity Interior Ramble Kit for the 144 Sprinter. This is a pretty impressive water system as it can hold over 50 gallons of fresh water on your van. Not only that, but it is 4 season ready!

    Do you have a video or part of a video showing the drain setup to the gray tank, including the hole through the floor? Thanks.

    Great video! I wonder if you might have trouble filling the tanks in freezing weather with the outside fill?

    I'd love to hear how you look at floor passthroughs. Do you use heavy gaskets of some kind? Cable boots? How do you seal? Cheers!

    Is Propex flexible enough to connect directly to the pump without increasing the noise? Typically you would isolate it with flexible braided tubing.

    I wish some one would do a video on tank fittings. Plastic vs metal and the type of thread sealer for the fittings. I feel like no one explains this. :(

    This is very high quality stuff. A bit overkill for my needs. I use a cell phone charger to power a 5 gallon water jug.

    One downside of pex is you need special tools to work on it. Most people wont want to carry these tools in their van. Having a system field serviceable with just a wrench is a nice thing. That said, pex is so unlikely to leak it probably is not a big concern.

    Love your content! That’s about 400 pounds of water, will the van be OK?

    • @VanLand
      @VanLand  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is a lot of weight, so make sure your rig is under the GVWR. For this build, it works!

    Very nice design. 50g is sufficient for most owners I suspect.

      Yes that’s plenty of water! More than that is really too heavy to carry.

      We did use a 20 gallon grey tank in this van. It’s mounted under the van on the driver’s side. vanlandstore.com/products/northwest-conversions-20-gallon-sprinter-undercarriage-water-tank-with-mounting-kit?_pos=1&_sid=6359dc39b&_ss=r
