waterworks

The shower has now been sealed, all thats left to do is attach the shower head, and connect it to the mixer tap, i bought it online and it has a microswitch in it, its specially designed for motorhomes and cost about £35, the shower head kit i got in wilkinsons for £7

so as mentioned before we decided two have two seperate water tank, one for the sink and one for the shower/water heater, there were a few reasons for this, firstly the sink and shower are on opposite sides of the van, having two tanks will spread the weight evenly. we won't have to run any pipes underneath the floor, and if we need hot water for washing up we can just boil a kettle i didnt see the point in firing up the water heater fto to the washing up its a waste of gas to heat 9 litres when we will probably only be using 2 or 3.

fiamma 21litre roller water tank, will be boxed in and should lay underneath the water heater, i have a shurflo water pump for use with this.
 the 20 litre water tank underneath the sink, i have bought a small whale submersable pump for use with this one, the sink tap also has a microswitch in it
