Domestic Water Services - Camper Van Conversion Series

We are discussing the different materials and components that make up the water services within your van conversion.
I show you how to make a John Guest push-fit joint and we look at a simple 12v drinking water system and faucet.
I explain how the Shurflo 12v diaphragm pump works and how to install the accumulator and filter.

I have been asked about pipe inserts, I had an email from John Guest Technical dept today to confirm that inserts are not required on cold water services but recommended they be fitted on hot water services. So I will be adding tube inserts to the hot water joints, fortunately I made sure it was all accessible and not hidden away.

You are the only person on YouTube that should immediately be paid to keep making videos. So so useful.

[PompeyBoy]

Good to see a professional tradesmen make these campervan videos. You are the best.

Blimey Greg, I can’t believe I watched this 3yrs ago… where has the time gone? Whoosh. Still good to revisit for my new project! All the best.

Your a natural teacher Greg, I thoroughly enjoy attending your DIY classes. Thanks for all you do.

[TJSplasterworks]

just to say thank you, I have ordered one of your mugs cheers Gregg. I can see light at the end of the tunnel because of you.

LOVE the way you testing to see if the new switch worked without having to mess with a full install or a bunch of water!! REALLY smart.

[Benny]

You're an excellent teacher, Greg. For someone who has no practical knowledge and experience with any of these things, you make it seem so achievable by any average Joe.

[anthonyrmay]

Greg, thank you. I have a load of info at the back of my brain but bringing it to the fore requires a nudge. you give it. Mind you, at 83 I really should slow down and hand over to my son and tell him to watch your videos

[tianxiaoxie]

don't know what to say, your have the whole package, the know how, the attention to detail, the presentation, I planned to watch an unfinished movie tonight, but can't stop watching your video, and there is not a part I can skip, full of information, thank you.

Just seen so many good and bad how to vid-blogs, but yours are just so clean and to the point without all the preamble, music and waffle. They are just so helpful, Thank you

[Vaterkrater]

Your videos are perfectly executed and they’re probably the one thing that will make me break the barrier between dreaming and doing. It’s been impossible to find a city camper for a family of 5 with my added preference of an outdoor/semi outdoor kitchen solution. I’ve realized I have to do it myself and you’ve shown me the way. Thank you for doing this!

Sir, you are an amazing teacher. I had no idea how to start a my conversion, but your videos demystify the whole process a lot. Thank you very much and have a couple pints on me 🍻

[TheScholarsHome]

As a first time vintage camper renovator...YOU are spectacular! You make perfect sense and the diagrams are priceless. Thank you!

[SteveWoodhead-ydfu]

That is the most straightforward water service video for campervan conversion I've ever seen - Thanks! Looking forward to the rest as I progress with my van

[tillyfunk]

I find its handy to have an isolator between the filter and the pump. That way you can clear the filter without having to turn off the pump and empty the accumulator by turning on a tap. It saves water and effort when servicing. Videos are great by the way, really appreciate the effort put in.

@GregVirgoe the best Teacher I have seen so far! explaining clearly and slowly so anyone can understand it’s amazing, awesome advice you give to ensure that anyone can build a safe and efficient plumbing system for the van, I absolutely admire your work! And Teaching skills, I kindly appreciate your work you have shown us to make ourselves a efficient van plumbing ! Thank you so much! Take care!cheese

[runsontrails]

You didn’t confuse me a complete novice and I would feel confident building a pond with a pump after this. So thank you. Koi next summer for sure.

[CRyan]

How is it possible to know so much about everything? Plumbing, electrics, carpentry etc etc. Amazing videos. Such detail.

[DoricKeith]

Great video Greg, I followed your instructions exactly, did away with the old submersible pump and don’t have to put up with the old system continually kicking in to keep the pressure up. Thanks for taking the time post.
