HOWTO: Design and build your own Overland or VanLife Water System!
Indoor plumbing is a wonderful thing, and this time I'm going next level.
Building on the systems I have designed for previous my expedition vehicles, the water in my Jeep camper will once again be double UV treated and double filtered through a 0.5 micron carbon activated filer.
This time I will also have hot water, and a shower.
A system like this takes a bit to wrap your head around, but if you follow the diagram through and work methodically, it is something you can build into your own overland or van life project.
