Loved the video Frank! Interested with the winter months approaching seeing a video on how you winterize your trailer for extended storage. For example if storing outside, how you drain the tanks and water heater to ensure no freezing. If you tarp over your exhaust fan to prevent snow build up and so on. I think it would be a very beneficial. Thanks for being an inspiration to so many people, including myself!

@fbaltierrez 2 года назад

That is a actually a great topic. Awesome idea. Let me make a video for that, bc as of yesterday I completed my season of serving food.

@theywillknowbandcook1279 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Frank, the downside of gluing the connections together is when you drop a screwdriver bit in the sink, you have to remove it all 😂

@robertsweeten8840 Год назад

the pluming and electrical plans you submitted in your area , would you mind sharing them with us so we can get an idea of how we would layout on paper. I know every state may require different things but basic plans would be a good guide. thank-you

I have built a 3 compartment wash sink almost identical to your work. I added my handwash sink sideways at the end of my build with a partition to separate it from cross contamination. My intention is to be able to disconnect the gray tank line (installed under the truck) and wheel the Sinkformer out of the truck for cleaning or to use in a tent setting....

@fbaltierrez 2 года назад

Nice! So you made like a movable 3 Compartment sink?

I wish there were links to the next videos or that they were numbered especially when there is more than one part. Notes say there will be a part two and three and the “part two” I started watching is not about installing the water tanks. I love your videos but it seems like that would be an improvement. I keep jumping from two years ago to one year ago and it’s a little time consuming. In the case of the part two I was watching it was from the same year but the tanks were already installed. Thanks

@fbaltierrez 8 месяцев назад

Definitely would have made a big difference, I was just uploading as I went in the project. If I ever built another one I would do something like that

@Claialva Год назад

Hello Frank! I have tanks that are producing rusty water they are not plastic like the ones you installed. I will be replacing them with plastic tanks in the near future. Any suggestions to prevent rusty water for now?

@ramyathanasios3606 Год назад

@steventate7713 2 года назад

Hey Frank thanks for your link I'm looking forward to following you I will be working on a skoolie food truck conversion I didn't have a question for you if you have any suggestions or know of anyone that installed a hood vent in their skoolie food truck that's one early concern that I have if you might be able to help me

@robertsweeten8840 Год назад

Hey frank how tall were the front legs to your 3 compartment sink? So tanks would fit . Thanks

@shaniahildreth7444 2 года назад

Hi Frank, Very informational although I have a question I can seem to get answered! These tanks say they aren’t pressurized! I have hookups at the location I will have my food truck! So if I have a hose hooked to the trailer at all times and have a pump on the tank will that be okay? Or what do you recommend?

@fbaltierrez 2 года назад

I just use a regular garden hose to fill it up. Hopefully that's the answer you were looking for

Frank, can you mount a fresh water tank approx. 3 feet above a hand sink. My space is limited - the grey water tank will be mounted to the floor but fresh water needs to be mounted above the sink. Thank you, Joe

Question! I know cook county is not pex friendly. you also mentioned for the electrical, Romex. Romex is the enemy in cook county as well. EMT 100%. in real estate construction of course. To the point. If i use all what you used in my food truck, will it pass inspection in cook county?

@fbaltierrez Год назад

No idea. I do not do any work at all in cook county bc cook county is too difficult in every aspect of anything and expensive lol. I would use EMT

@MB-ir8xf Год назад

@@fbaltierrez I always use EMT in residential. I just have never worked on a food truck. I am just concerned with the plumbing. The electrical is not difficult. I just came across your video and you mentioned, Dupage county. I assumed you were familiar with some of our codes when it comes to construction and health department. You seem pretty confident on your videos and presentation.

personally to winterize my trailer. I just dump out the water and put a disk space heater in the trailer and let it run inside

Where I live my fresh water tank has to have an NSF approved sticker on it and paperwork from the manufacturer showing that they are up to NSF standards as well. Is that not the case where you are?

@fbaltierrez 10 месяцев назад

For us the water tanks do not have to be NSF rated, not sure where you can find NSF rated tanks because I don't think class A customs NSF stamps them.

P trap is just to keep out methane gas

@fbaltierrez 2 года назад

Not a plumber expert here but I would agree. As mentioned I just duplicated what Domino’s Pizza has on their plumbing and they are a pretty well known brand and they get approved.

@justinpolley2490 Год назад

Having built both. Having the P trap in a restaurant isn't necessary IF the sink leads to a grease trap. The grease trap is doing the job of the p trap. That's why you'll still see them on the hand sinks. P traps in a food truck would be unnecessary because you're not hooked to the sewer and you're not worried about sewer gas.
