German 98 Blazer build
No, no need for a sink. I can wash the dishes easy with the showerhead...
I think i`ll weight it before i leave for the next trip...

Really nice project thus far ive been following the whole way and really wish i had more trails were i live cause id prolly do something like this on a lil smaller scale. Really like the led camping lights nice touch.
Took some measurements for the sliders today. Didn`t think that i need that much steel...
I applied for a job today, and should get a call if they take me on wednesday. If so, I`ll buy the steel on the way back...
Btw, should get my water tank tomorrow, so stay tuned for updates...
Shopped at our 1€ store today. Got all those things for about 15$:


Here`s the proof that i can reach the shifter just normal:

Added some anti slip mat to the laptop mount:

Then i took the radio out to add a aux input. Unfortunately my radio isn`t convertable, so i put it back together...

Also got that thing for cheap, but i`m not sure where to mount it:

Then my water tank arrived:

Perfect fit:

Made a mount for it:

Mounted:

My soldering iron died and i had to use my 75W one. Slightly oversized...

The pump mounted:

This pump has some serious pressure. I think i`ll put a adjustable resistor in to reduce it a bit:

Finished install:


I think i`ll have to find a better way to store the hose. Suggestions?
There`s another problem i found. The pump doesn`t stop the water when it`s not pumping. So if the showerhead is lower than the tank, it will drain out. Any suggestions on solving this problem?
I could mount the showerhead higher, but that`s not the elegant way...

If it were to pump against a closed valve for too long, it would heat up the water and potentially damage the pump, but so long as there is water flowing, it won't be a problem. You are actually using more power from the motor at wide open flow than you are when you reduce the flow.
