Looks like Wayne went to Louisiana for craw-fish and just kept going east

Nice looking GM conversion tour over. Couple of comments..... Those bays will look great with gray indoor/ outdoor carpet glued to bottom, those sewer drains look awful close to ground, be careful going over humps and railroad tracks, and generator fuel tank should have a barrier of some sort between it and fuel tank. I like how neat the electrical system is laid out for easy access when/if necessary. You usually only have problems with conversion components when you bury them.
Thanks for the video.

Yvan, where did you get the rack and spout for the water bottle. We carry a water bottle like it, but use the hand pump with it upright. Your gravity setup looks better.

JC we did that too for awhile then found a battery operated one on line somewhere. Now I just put the bottles 5 gallon Blue bottles in the front bay. We have 3 and I put a tube into the bottle with the hole I drilled into the cap. The tube connects to a small pressure activated water pump screwed to the ceiling of the bay. A copper or could be plastic food grade tube connected to the pump across the ceiling of the bay and up into the sink cabinet to a small long neck faucet I installed next to the regular faucet. I did put a 12 volt cutoff switch on the wall also just in case there were any problems with the pump. So far so good. It pumps our ranch water out of the three bottles we carry on board in the bay for drinking water. Easy to change when empty and no more lugging them up the stairs and back to the pantry

Dave sounds good. I'll have to look at it when I see you next.

JC, here's what I use. Somebody gave it to me (5 gallon bottles) - I had no idea that it was so expensive. I love it.
