Hi guys…… great video, thanks for making it. Thermostatic mixer just means that it will maintain constant temperature you set it to so if someone turns on the hot tap while you’re having a shower the valve will adjust so your water doesn’t suddenly go cold on you. Hope that makes sense
Thanks very much for the help! I've bought the Fiamma tank and the Haba water inlet as you did, but I am a little confused how to use this inlet. It doesn't seem to have any way of mounting on a wall, or any barbs or ribs to prevent the 12 mm rigid hose from slipping off. Did you just attach it with a jubilee clip and hope for the best? Thanks again!
Hi. Could you explain the clear water level pipe out of the fresh water tank. Nice easy idea but when it comes out of the bottom where is it going then?
Hi guys, great system, I'm looking at putting in exactly the same tank and water heater! Love the breather level garage too! wondering if you attached it to existing holes in the tank or you added holes? Thank you!
Thanks guys, I love the level indication loop, but where does your breather go of that Y connector? It looks like it goes straight under your mattress!
Well spotted! We had just installed that new filler adaptor and I just hadn't got round to readjusting the level indicator pipe. Now, it just goes in one piece straight from bottom to the top of the tank. Previously, that end you see connected to a different fill point cap which had space for a breather. so, old: www.amazon.co.uk/Gravity-Filler-Camping-Trailer-Motorhome/dp/B08C32PQCZ & new: www.amazon.co.uk/Maas-Narbonne-Accessoires-Water-Filler/dp/B01GI0ULJ0 . Hope that makes sense :)
Hey just watching your video and I have a tank inside, but am getting a lot of water backlog into the van through the breather (I have your old fiamma water filler). With your new adaptor, is there a breather pipe attachment? How can the air be removed from the tank! Thanks in advance, really struggling with my water system at the moment because of this!
@@danielatoale9556 So, with the system as you see in the video, the only way to stop water spitting back through the breather is to fill the tank up really slowly. So what we do now is actually shove a water hose through the 40mm corrugated filler pipe, so that the fill hose is in the tank. Then you can fill up at maximum pressure, as there is much more space for air to escape. Hope that makes sense. But yes these tanks definitely have some issues and you kind of have to work around them creatively.
Thank you! :) We typically get two quick showers out of it for a couple of minutes each, but if you pop the water heater on for 5 minutes after the 1st shower, it doesn't take long to heat up again! :)
Hi guys, I am wondering if you have converted to an underslung water tank now, as I think you mentioned that you would do this in the future, and if so which water tank have you gone for? I am looking to get both a waste and fresh water tank underslung for my boxer and have taken a lot of inspiration in terms of components from you! Would highly appreciate your input!!
Hey!! :) We haven't got an underslung tank at the moment, it was something we talked about, but f we were to do it in the future we'd probably go with CAK Tanks again, as that's who our underslung waste tank is with and we've had no problems with that so far! :)
Good video, thanks. Busy looking at the wafer system for our van and still undecided on the underslung or internal tank (not sure if we are going to have any problems with freezing if we go outside but would be nice to free up extra space inside. Anyway, I have seen almost everyone saying that those plastic fittings supplied by fiamma are useless. Do you have any more info about what brass fitting you got to replace it, was it easy enough to find at a plumbing shop? How does that fitting work is there a threaded fitting already moulded into the plastic or are there 2 parts that thread together and pinch against the wall of the tank to form a seal? Cheers :)
It all depends on where you plan to take it. If you are in a country where temperatures don't drop below freezing then it will be fine underslung. If they do, then you'll need to insulate the tank, any pipes and probably install 12v warmer pads in the tank. My dad actually picked it up, as he is a plumber. Apparently, it is just the typical brass fitting used in household loft storage tanks I think it worked in the same way, with a nut on the outside which tightens against the thread, as well as a decent washer. Hope that helps! Your best bet would probably be just to take the plastic fitting to a plumbing merchants and they can tell you which one to go for :)
Hey thanks for the video and explanations :) Can I ask what made you go for that water pump and accumulator in particular? I'm looking to get set up for on board water storage which I'll hopefully eventually upgrade to underslung and I don't want to have to buy anything new other than the tanks themselves so would be great if the same pump etc could be used. Totally new to all this so don't know what to go for in terms of water pump and I've only learned about an accumulator through this video :P
Shurflo pumps are widely recognised as the best you can buy. And even if you go for an underslung tank, then a 30psi pump like ours would still be ideal for you. Any higher and you run the risk of having pressure that is too high for certain components (like the water heater). Shurflo also make accumulators, our is the fiamma. But I'm not sure how much difference there is.
@@CazzyandBradley that's great, thanks for the info, I'll probably go for that pump too and maybe the same accumulator, unless I can find a combo deal of the pump and a Shurflo accumulator 😊
Hi guys, very interesting content, thank you! I have a question about the water heater which I hope you could help me with. Does the 13 liters heater tank get filled automatically by your main water tank? Or do you have to fill up the heater tank separetely from the main water tank? Sorry for the stupid question, I am not experienced at all. Thank you!
Thanks so much! Yes it's automatically filled via the main water tank! :) As long as there is pressure in the system, i.e your water pump is turned on, then it will stay topped up :)

Great video. Thanks for sharing all the lessons you learned... so the rest of us can avoid making mistakes. ❤️
Thank you Lee!

Love what you guys have done
Thanks so much! :)
Hi, great job on the build. Hope it’s still going. Where did you get the bit of plastic that you attach the hose coming from the mains?
11:52. they make an inline p-trap , i think its called a duck bill p trap. then you can go straight down and wont have waste water stuck in the loop
thanks I'll check it out! :)
Great job! Congratulations 😉
Cool water system guys
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the video - do you have a link to the domestic-camper plumbing connector?
Hi. Could you explain the clear water level pipe out of the fresh water tank. Nice easy idea but when it comes out of the bottom where is it going then?
Heya! The pipe links up from the bottom to the top of the tank. That way you can see exactly what level the water is at :)
@@CazzyandBradley oh I see. So at the Y split one is going back in tank and the other is open for air then?
Hi guys, great system, I'm looking at putting in exactly the same tank and water heater! Love the breather level garage too! wondering if you attached it to existing holes in the tank or you added holes? Thank you!
Yeah effective and real simple to do too! There are holes on the top or bottom that you simply drill through :)
Thanks guys, I love the level indication loop, but where does your breather go of that Y connector? It looks like it goes straight under your mattress!

How long shower can you take on that 13 L water heater before the water goes cold ?
Thank you! :) We typically get two quick showers out of it for a couple of minutes each, but if you pop the water heater on for 5 minutes after the 1st shower, it doesn't take long to heat up again! :)

Do you have the link for the grey water tank that you installed?
I'm having same problem with that connection leaking . Any idea on what this part is called guys. Cheers
Sorry no I'm not 100% sure. I think maybe something like "male drain outlet"
