One thing that is really frustrating is when you buy something, go to wire it up and only then discover (on the wide wiring diagram, which yes I did read) that you need a fuse, but they don't supply you with the fuse or a fuse holder.
So back to Jaycar to buy fuse holder and fuse so I can wire in my water pump.
P.S. I had the same issue with the solar controller.
Having Bunnings, Jaycar, Kathmandu and Repco shops all located next to each other and only a 10 min drive from my 'home base'... is that a good thing or just plain dangerous? !!
The find of the day at Bunnings was a little plastic tub for less than $2 which I will use as a sink.
I also bought my water tanks from Bunnings, but my little water pump I actually brought over from NZ with me.
Although the sink was super cheap, the other fittings were a bit more expensive.
Cutting hole in the plastic tub for sink fittings was a lot easier than cutting a hole in vehicle for the waste water piping.
Next, install the sink, fill the water tanks and see if it all works as planned....
WATER STORAGE
Plan: 100 litres of fresh drinking water.
Location: centre of vehicle mass & low down (not on roof)... so in the passenger section, foot-well.
Configuration: 2 x 30 litre tanks, 2 20 litre tanks
Notes: reduce risk of water loss by having water in separate containers, that way if there is a leak you don't loose all your water. With this in mind I decided to connect the 2 x 30 litre tanks and leave the 2x 20 litre tanks as stand alone tanks.
I admit to being a little anxious about drilling hole in the base of tanks to connect them... but thankfully it worked.
But all in all it went well... and I now have running water in the Landy.
Creating a waste water holding tank will be a job for tomorrow.
