Pumped Water Systems - Camper Van Conversion Series 

Love your videos I hope you watch mine haha

Hi. Greg. 29th September 2020: I am just starting my Van Conversion: Mercedes Sprinter LWB High Roof: I or I should say we (Wife & I) the team have been watching your videos along with many, many other videos on doing the conversions. I must start by saying that your videos surpass ALL others. Well Done. WATER SYSTEM: It is my intention to follow your advice and install my main water tank inside the van, fortunately my background is Fabrication / Welder so making a bespoke stainless steel tank that fits over the wheel arch and acts as a bed support too. Any other thoughts on the water system you have thought about since doing your van and you would do differently please let me know, much appreciated. When planning your vans in what order or sequence would you do them, I personally are starting from the roof downwards, or is this the wrong approach. PS. I am thinking of selling these bespoke tanks: 2mm thk & the water volume is Approx: 112 Litres, the beauty of building my own tank I can install on the inside of the tank Calming Baffles that will stop the water from sloshing about when driving. Again thanks for showing us ALL the ways to convert these vans. Regards Steve B

Can you recommend any water tanks for under the van?

@@katieedwards9312 I have a water tank video and got mine from CAK Tanks 😁

Thanks for the water services diagram that is truly helpful 🙂

Really glad you like them and hope they help you with your plans. :D

Agreed. Thank you Greg!

Same with me and I watch a whole lot of them this one here is the best thanks !!!🙏

Come back to Greg’s videos year on year, I’m a very visual learner; how you learnbwhatever way Greg’s diagrams are a winner as this isn’t easy stuff to understand !

Yep me too! Just about to start on my own van! Literally no clue 😖

Wow, thanks! Glad it was useful to you.

fraser hardmetal 😂🥇that made me smile 😃 thank you 🙏🏼

@@GregVirgoe you are the best ( that is not ok , you need 10 people to build a good van )

Can we help recommend too even we are from the US?

FunkyFlunky it’s good to know that they are useful. Thank you for great comment.

Thank you for subscribing. Only 30% of my viewers subscribe yet it’s the easiest way of saying thanks 😊👍🏼

Thank you for a lovely comment 😊

Paul Barnett hope it will help when you come to do your conversion. 👍🏼😀

Barry Hodgkinson it’s very nice to be appreciated. Many thanks 😊👍🏼

Yannis Tsakiris I have not seen them cross over into the motorhome world yet but sound like a great idea for internal tanks 👍🏼😀

Hi Yannis, would this system still require an expansion vessel? I wouldn’t want to explode a bladder I guess...

jlavelle.uk our whale pump get very intermittent use. Had the same one for two years now. What make was your water boiler?

@@GregVirgoe it was an American make. Not sure which.

Alan Hanna that is a lovely comment. Thank you so much 😊👍🏼

GMCBURBAN it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Really simple and easy to use and no leaks first time.

@@GregVirgoe Like you said, make a clean cut otherwise you'll nick the o'ring. Maybe even chamfer the ends. The clever thing about o'rings is that the surface area around the o'ring is larger then the area where the water is trying to get through. So the higher the water pressure, the tighter it seals. As opposed to a flat gasket type seal that pushes apart with pressure and eventually leaks.

@@JayDee-xj9lu chamfer the ends is a very good tip 👍🏼

Glad it has helped you. There are plenty more helpful videos like this in the build series. 😊👍🏼

@@GregVirgoe I have watched your entire series. Saved so many videos. Even shared your page to my Facebook. The way you explain things, in detail with photos and everything is a huge plus. You explain in a way that a kindergartner would understand and that’s very beneficial. Thanks again for everything!

@@untamedfamilyof5611 thank you fir supporting my channel 👍🏼😃

Pedros Pedroski I just used windows paint and a lot of copy and paste 😃👍🏼

I would also like to know where you found the external shower unit. It is more compact than anything I have found.

Thanks for watching Dave and good luck with your project 👍🏼

I kept it to the essentials and no more frills. It just works really well 👍🏼😊

mattmanjack the plumbing and electrics are the two things most people fear. Hopefully this will help and make it much easier for you. My other water services video give some good tips too 😀👍🏼

I appreciate the time and effort you put into all of this just so we can benefit. I often say You Tube is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th/21st century. Stay well over there!
