    Loved the video Frank! Interested with the winter months approaching seeing a video on how you winterize your trailer for extended storage. For example if storing outside, how you drain the tanks and water heater to ensure no freezing. If you tarp over your exhaust fan to prevent snow build up and so on. I think it would be a very beneficial. Thanks for being an inspiration to so many people, including myself!

    Question! I know cook county is not pex friendly. you also mentioned for the electrical, Romex. Romex is the enemy in cook county as well. EMT 100%. in real estate construction of course. To the point. If i use all what you used in my food truck, will it pass inspection in cook county?

    I wish there were links to the next videos or that they were numbered especially when there is more than one part. Notes say there will be a part two and three and the “part two” I started watching is not about installing the water tanks. I love your videos but it seems like that would be an improvement. I keep jumping from two years ago to one year ago and it’s a little time consuming. In the case of the part two I was watching it was from the same year but the tanks were already installed. Thanks

My intention is to be able to disconnect the gray tank line (installed under the truck) and wheel the Sinkformer out of the truck for cleaning or to use in a tent setting....

      Having built both. Having the P trap in a restaurant isn't necessary IF the sink leads to a grease trap. The grease trap is doing the job of the p trap. That's why you'll still see them on the hand sinks. P traps in a food truck would be unnecessary because you're not hooked to the sewer and you're not worried about sewer gas.
