*Great product **Fastly.Cool** so far*
The stripping he mentioned at 7:24, can be avoided by using the plate in the tool case you see if you stop the video at that point. A better view is at 8:00. Larger hole saws require this plate or, other tools use a different method to engage the two holes in the saw and some even have 4.
Good mod -- how's that floor holding up with no paint/protective coating.
Cheers
My compliments, you did a nice job. You took the time to think about it and lay it out the right way. Like they say measure twice and do it right once! LOL The idea of the extra brace on the ends and the straps is smart too. When that tank gets a lot of water in it it will be heavy and the water will be sloshing which puts a lot of stress on things. The extra bracing and straps are a very smart idea! I plan to follow along as you go. I am always on the look out for good ideas to use in my conversion build. Good luck on yours keep up the good work. Respectfully JOHN
Thank you! Perfect for getting an idea of how to do this.
Instead of using the smaller tank in the front, would you be able to plumb the toilet to use the larger gray tank? Reason i ask is Im building out an almost identical trailer (legend 7x19 FTV). Great work btw.
I'm not sure if rv toilets can utilize regular plumbing because of the amount of water they use to flush... But I'm not an expert.
@@danielmid6022 thank you for the reply.
@@danielmid6022 I did not consider that when brainstorming. Direct to the tank is probably the best bet.
Thanks again for all your time helping us out…my application doesn’t allow for the aluminum angle pieces, I’m fabricating two straps to mount side to side and up to the supports, ‘U’ shaped if you get it…but I’m not sure what gauge thickness to use. Any suggestions? And should I choose Alum vs Steel? Thanks!
Get yourself a hat bro. Awesome video! Thanks
Sun safety! You will thank yourself later! Peace
Hi I like how you did this install. What I would like to know is where you got the tank and what type of material it is?
Thanks
I am concerned that hundreds of pounds of water will bend those aluminum L brackets.
Thanks for this. I was wondering if I needed some kind of rubber padding in between the tank and the metal, so this definitely helped
Great Video! Question: Did you have to cut that length-wise support beam (10:51) to place the tank in-between the cross members? Thanks again for the video.
Hi, no I did not, the support beam ends right there from factory. Take care!
What do you call the 3/4 " fittings he is using, my hardware store couldnt find me anything like this...
Sure the hell hope you are painting that plywood underneath your trailer, it's not gonna last long .
It's composite. 25 year warranty. Thanks though
@@danielmid6022 LOL, whatever you say
@@freedomring4813 ? It's an engineered floor. Laugh all you want, it's directly on their website.
maybe i am wrong is your shower right over the tank. draining straight down? question if so do you really get much smell
after all it grey water. and does it slush up when driving?
Good video man. Thanks. Just in time for my need. Neat job. Good work.
I am surprised that the bottom of the OSB floor is not protected at all against water.
charlevoix418 it's not osb, it's composite. Warranty for 25 years I think it was
You are? I am not. Even the best built cargo trailers have a few shortcomings that should be addressed. I would slap some clear exterior polyurethane on there...perhaps even some clear marine grade "spar" finish.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 I got the best outside plywood paint for my trailer and painted the underneath right away and it was real plywood not that crap partical plywood, I told the same thing to this guy.
@@danielmid6022 at the end you only showed one drain and vent. But why you need second vent that you did on other side of tank? Isn’t one vent is enough?
Thanks for the detailed video. I'm going to be doing this this summer, so this is a big help.
Btw, ignore the naysayers.
I live right there too
Very helpful, thanks
Thanks for the help!
So did you do any custom framing from R&R to accept the tank, or did it work with the default framing setup?
Nice trailer! How did you get a Legend Mfg Inc down in SE TX? I had to drive to NW OH to get mine. Legend Thunder 7x20 V-nose TA w/ 7' interior.
JUST a quick note too. Check out Kevin Robinson channel. he's doing some nice work with a number of clever ideas too, He might give you some ideas to use too. Respectfully JOHN
Hi can you give me the dimensions for the cabinet with sink? Length and Width.. I am planning doing the same thing for my 7x14 trailer.
👉🤙
Nicely done man. I'm building my own conssesion trailer to and a was looking for how to install wastewater tank and ur video is the best.
Thanks! Go as big as you can fit!!
I have a DIAMOND 7’ X 16’ trailer. Did you put the lift kit on your trailer? Lastly, what website did you buy your tanks from?
I have a video of the install. I got the tanks on Amazon. Link's in the description. Hope that helps!!
@@danielmid6022 Thanks bud. If I had your email, I would love to share with you my build!
Hi! I'm also looking to build a conversion trailer and looking for like minded people for help and bounce off ideas!
@@JonCardenas202 Ok let’s do it!
I need a black water tank installed. I don’t want to do it. Any tips on how to go about it.
Where did you buy them windows on the size of your trailer they are very cool? And what size are they? Thanks
Did the grey tank come with the outlet ABS fitting? Can you tell what sealant was used. I understand 3M makes a 4200 which is non hardening. I needd to replace my outlet adapter and I am looking for thoughts on sealants.
Thank for the videos.
I'm not 100% sure what u mean by outlet adapter. But if I'm thinking correctly u can use abs plumbing glue
Get to it
Did you cut off one of the rings on the 1 1/2 grommet?
How long does it take the 3M 5200 adhesive sealant to dry?!
Great question. The answer to that is how much humidity is where you live.....more is better. I used to live on the coast and use this all the time and dried in a couple of days. Now I live in the high desert and humidity is very low....it doesn't dry, stays sticky. So now I'm using Locktite PL Marine fast cure and usually in 1.5 days its good to go. Home Depot or Lowes.
Great video! where are you installing your fresh water tank?
Great video, now show me how to hook up the drain lol
Oh yeah sorry didn’t see that, thanks
Daniel. I live in Edna, TX. Very good job on your trailer. What is your total cost of build? What size trailer did you start with.
Hi the trailer is 19*7*. Not sure on the build price. There are so many variables on any one build to determine the cost.I need to sit down one day and do the math.
What size shower pan is that in your trailer ? Thanks
I also live in Nipple, TX.
hello Daniel is your vent going thru the bottom of the trailer instead of out the roof for black and grey tank? thanks im currently building a conversion trailer also.
Black vent goes out the side wall and grey goes out the bottom. Works great so far.
Hi Daniel what size is that gray water tank ? Do you know the exsact dimensions ? Thank
There is a link to it in my description. It has the dimensions on Amazon. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Could you use the 3M 5200 for some added peace of mind on a potable water tank? Thx for the video.
Hi. Use it how? Not sure I know what u mean. Thanks
Not inside where the water is check the MSDS sheets
maybe I missed it, but what is the size cargo trailer do u have ?
19X7X7-1/2 tall
Did you build the cabinets yourself?
Yes, we built the cabinets and ordered doors and drawers
Where did you get the windows for your trailer?
I found them on eBay. Took a little while to find the ones I wanted
Where did you purchase your gray water tank?
Hi. I purchased it on Amazon. There is a link to it in the description.
Dog looks 🥵 hot
Keep kickin' ass man! You got this!
Very nice job, that gives me more ideas on my build, thanks
really appreciate the video. Can you also tell me what windows those are and maybe where you got them?
Hi, I found those on clearance from some company on eBay. I think they are called flush mount if I remember correctly. Hope that helps! Think I got them for $80 each
Thank you!! After looking at a lot of conversions I think I’m going to just overhaul a traditional travel trailer
@@blatzphemy I've wanted to do that as well. The one thing I suggest is to find an RV without wood bones. Preferably aluminum. If they ever leak, it's a nightmare with wood. If u start your project, please send me a link to your build!
Great Job!!
Thanks fopr the details of your black tank and a quick glimpse of your dog(s). Good stuff!
Great video! I've been looking everywhere for a good t shaped 23w x 8h tank for my grey/black. You saved me a lot of headache. Could you show a video or some pictures of how you mounted the mini split? I'm thinking mine is going to go in the same location to save on tongue weight.
New Identity I'll see what I can get for u. I had someone fabricate a mount for me so I dunno if I'll be able to explain what he did but I'll do the best that i can.
