- 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!

The best videos on TH-cam platform! Im watching all your videos thank you
Glad you like them!
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.
Amazing!
Great video... im going to go thru your whole series... thanks for doing this. I am building my cabinets now.. hope i have room for all the pumps and plumbing... i am looking at the space you have... and it has me a little concerned.. and thanks for showing me the accumulator... i forgot about that.
Best of luck!
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!
Thanks for the info 👍👍🇺🇸
You bet
Is Propex flexible enough to connect directly to the pump without increasing the noise? Typically you would isolate it with flexible braided tubing.
What is that outdoor shower flip up fitting? thats really cool. thanks for the great video by the way!
Found it on your site: vanlandstore.com/collections/showers/products/bullfinch-external-shower

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. :(
Where do you get the tool to put the connectors on and what is it called
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?
It is a lot of weight, so make sure your rig is under the GVWR. For this build, it works!
It's a pain in the ass to replace those connections.
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.
@@VanLand Does Van Land install the tanks/kits like this?
Is pro PEX available in colors or just white
Yes it’s available in white, red and blue to my knowledge. Can be a bit hard to find still.
Are all three colors propex?
Yes- it comes in white, blue and red.
Did I miss the grey tank?
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
@@VanLand do you do anything special for winter travel with that tank? Looking to add a grey tank to my sprinter build right now
