Minticle content again bro! Quick tip, add a skid plate under the trailer to protect all your fittings water system etc, and use food grade hose as the rubber hose makes the water stink. Love ya work! Btw youve got less than 6 mins of water use if u held that hose on full flow. Thats a massive 12v pump. Cheers bud
Agreed. That silicon (or urethane) on the bottom of the jerrys is a no go for drinking water! Can i suggest that you put a hole in the cap with a tube inside that runs to the bottom of the jerry, it's less likely to leak as the only hole remains at the top, and you wont poison your own water supply with sealants not approved for potable water. Furthermore, this allows you to take the cap off and remove the jerry for easy filling.
That trailer has come such a long way man, you should be proud of yourself, it’s mint. 👌🏼 Just bought myself a bogan bus, hopefully I see you out on the tracks. 😎
Good job mate. Other ways u can regulate the water pressure are: use a variable dc power dimmer control or use a regulator valve between inlet & outlet of pump so u can easily adjust pressure output via regulating valve. This is why it can be good to have a higher output pump as u have for mud cleaning purposes & consistent flow adjustment for showers , sink, etc, ie; the pump will not cycle if the control valve is open & allows enough water to recycle, this will lower output pressure but keep a steadier flow without the cycling effect. Another trick is to have a 2 way valve on the inlet to pump & have a spare hose to attach, so if u can park in or near a fresh river crossing so u can suck water up & into ur tanks to refill on the go. Cheers
Simple, robust and reasonably flexible - nice solution! I first used an expandable hose but similar to a spiral hose, they can be deceptive in how much water they hold, which is usually wasted when you disconnect it. I've changed to 2m of "regular" 12mm ID hose because losing the 250ml-ish that it holds feels like an acceptable compromise between the convenience of a longer hose. It's also not a major issue but I found that dirt collected in the water outlet when travelling and then clogged up the sprayer nozzles, so I made a stopper with a cheapo female connection.
Chuck a garden hose plug fitting ontop of your jerry. Then you just clip the garden hose up, turn the tap on and walk away to do something else while tanks fill up.
holy shit i randomly stumbled across this vid while checking out your trailer build (which is amazing btw) - I've been wondering for weeks how to chain my water jerry cans together and you've nailed it! cheers mate 👍
Looking good mate, I would remove all the ball valve and normal garden fittings idea and put in Nitto fittings. Therefor you don't need the ball valve's and you can keep the system on if you want to at camp and you will only get flow if something is actually plugged in, also alot more durable than plastic garden fittings.. Its what most systems use in caravans and trailers with water connections.
Looks good man watched a few vids of the build. I reckon you might need some sort of mini rear bar or something to protect the tail lights and fittings along the back
A few things is that hose going through he floor will rub through... trust me I know.. also that fitting on the bottom will get damage if not from scaping against something a rock being thrown up will smash it.. and one last thing I would have just modified my jerry can holder to allow for the original tap as its an easy mod.... Ive build 2 campers now and worked on caravans doing repairs so have experience.. Im enjoying your build and its given my ideas for my third camper I am slapping together for Googs track in July. Keep the Vids coming dude I am enjoying them mate !!
you should weld in some poles inbetween the supports underneath the tent so you could strap down some gear on the lid. alot of space there you could use for an overflow
Put your pump in a waterproof housing like a pelican case and install a drain line out the bottom of the trailer. If you blow a line and water will be contained and drain out through the drain line to the outside, protecting your electronics
Looking good mate! I was thinking 11LPM pump would be a bit much . . . might be better off with a 4LPM pump. My only real concern would be the hose not being food safe and I'm guessing you will be getting a plastic taste coming through from it. There is some great clear hose with wire reinforced walls available from catering equipment wholesalers etc that I've used thats not too expensive and is brilliant to use.
Three suggestions: Lower volume pump (1.5L/min enough for camping) Accumulator tank after the pump (will minimize the cycling of the pump) Potable hoses (clear hose type suitable for pressure systems) I'll be incorporating some of your ideas into my build!
There are garden hose fittings, the bit that goes into the tap or end of the hose (like you have on the back of the trailer) that automatically stop water coming out when you disconnect the hose/fitting. That would solve the problem of the pump pushing water out when no hose is connected to the back.
Awesome mate, you’re going to want to protect those exposed plastic pieces with a bash plate. Any dirt/gravel road will flick hundreds if not thousands of rocks up and they will hit and break anything they touch. Trust me 🤣👍
I am glad you like the pump solution, but it would have been simpler to cut the vertical brace from the jerry holder and weld it back on in an offset position. Then you would have the redundancy of 3 independent jerry cans, and you could pull them out to fill up from a low mounted tap or stream.
Run rock lights on it but just send a wire from the ones on your car already and put it in the plug so both come on at the same time, saves jumping out and turning them on
Great project! Too bad you didn't mount a Stainless h2o tank to the under carriage (much like a gas tk) centered and forward of the axle? (Would have increased capacity and enhanced stability/ center of gravity). Another benefit would've allowed jerry can rack for fuel. PS- don't forget fire extinguishers ;)
Tip buy spare micro switchs for the pump or bypass the micro switch and then put a bypass pressure relief pipe inline back to the tanks because after awhile the micro switch will stop working then the pump won't run
I think the contentions to the Gerry can will fail with travel, modifying your Gerry can brackets and using the threaded connections in the Gerry cans would be far stronger
It could have been done better. Tops to you for what you have achieved but, detachable stop valves on the water containers, rubber grommets where the hoses go through the chassis, a lower LPM pump (bigger is not always better), anderson plug covers etc. Fitting outlets with flange into a closed container is easy using a pice of string or thin rope :-)
What a load of crap! I've had a Shurflo water pump mounted under my camper trailer for over 14 years. Water crossings, including the Pentecost River. Never had a single problem. How about you don't make half baked assumptions.

Great idea there. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Came for the trailer. Subscribed for the Boxer.
As always chucked a like on the vid, love your stuff mate
Mate, you make it look so easy!
Wow that’s mint and really cool looking
The rock lights would be so sick. Love your content by the way man💯
Awesome video lads! Highly enjoyed this watch 🤙🔥
Diesel was like, Sweet water, Finally you hove done something I'm interested in😂😍
Wow that’s fantastic mate unbelievable how much pressure you have with a little pump looking forward to seeing it on the back of your Patrol

Trailers looking awesome mate! Suggest putting isolators on each tank. If you have a failure on one all your water will drain out of them all.
This build is epic mate, can’t wait to get my hands on one to build! Keep it going legend 🤙🏼
Loving the build mate. 🎉

looks great so far ! but I thought it all had to be food grade hose ?
Put your pump in a waterproof housing like a pelican case and install a drain line out the bottom of the trailer.
If you blow a line and water will be contained and drain out through the drain line to the outside, protecting your electronics
Excellent build mate.Love it. 🍺👍❤️🇦🇺
Thanks mate!!
Im not sure if you wanted to have hot water but painting the jerry flat black will heat the water in the sun.
Soooo good
How is the fridge going in the trailer. I brought one for mine. No problem with the jar of the road mate.cheers mate
Why is the gq for sale? 👀

Accumulator tank after the pump (will minimize the cycling of the pump)
Potable hoses (clear hose type suitable for pressure systems)

You can get 13mm food grade reinforced pressure hose from the big green shed. As used for caravan water hose.
There are garden hose fittings, the bit that goes into the tap or end of the hose (like you have on the back of the trailer) that automatically stop water coming out when you disconnect the hose/fitting. That would solve the problem of the pump pushing water out when no hose is connected to the back.
Hey mate what 12v pump did you get and have you got a link cheers
Looks a absolute treat mate keen on the weight figures but. Anyone guessing what she’ll weigh?
You should have used bulkhead fittings for the pump to go through the trailer
Awesome mate, you’re going to want to protect those exposed plastic pieces with a bash plate. Any dirt/gravel road will flick hundreds if not thousands of rocks up and they will hit and break anything they touch. Trust me 🤣👍
I am glad you like the pump solution, but it would have been simpler to cut the vertical brace from the jerry holder and weld it back on in an offset position. Then you would have the redundancy of 3 independent jerry cans, and you could pull them out to fill up from a low mounted tap or stream.
How do you find the 11LPM pump? I upgraded mine to a 12LPM from 6 and I find that it goes way too hard! What do you reckon?
Biggest problem is that it really needs an accumulator tank otherwise the pipe hammer is nuts
Put in a stop flow fitting then have a joiner to connect hoses
Where did you get the fittings from?
Run rock lights on it but just send a wire from the ones on your car already and put it in the plug so both come on at the same time, saves jumping out and turning them on
"that is a lot of earthing" slayed me pretty good XD
You thought about building some plating to protect the vitals underneath? Your hoses and wiring... ect
What is the flexable pipe you installed ?
Uploading at the best time after work
Great project! Too bad you didn't mount a Stainless h2o tank to the under carriage (much like a gas tk) centered and forward of the axle? (Would have increased capacity and enhanced stability/ center of gravity). Another benefit would've allowed jerry can rack for fuel. PS- don't forget fire extinguishers ;)
What's that blue putty lookin stuff you're putting on the connection out of the water cans?
Tip buy spare micro switchs for the pump or bypass the micro switch and then put a bypass pressure relief pipe inline back to the tanks because after awhile the micro switch will stop working then the pump won't run
What make & model was the water pump?
what do you work as?
Did I see It wrong or did you put the hoses under the axle 🧐🫣
I thought you said it was done. But I’m not complaining about extra trailer footage
Love the build vids but personally I would have put the pump under the trailer
💂 dito what everyone said about pump size a & food grade hose easy fix now that every thing else is in place
🍻 💂
I think the contentions to the Gerry can will fail with travel, modifying your Gerry can brackets and using the threaded connections in the Gerry cans would be far stronger
state to state is so different lol your battery control module we call it bluetooth voltage meter
It could have been done better.

Would probably use stainless fixings rather than zinc tho 🤦
First
You wouldnt happen to be a plumber would you?
We should have counted how many time I said "WTF?"
What a load of crap! I've had a Shurflo water pump mounted under my camper trailer for over 14 years. Water crossings, including the Pentecost River. Never had a single problem.
How about you don't make half baked assumptions.
Hey brother. Calm down I’m not an expert I just tinker in the shed!
