    Very happy for your installation Brooke, you are learning by doing. A half round wood rasp will fix the pipe diameter issue quickly. Ma Ma needs a new tool for her tool box. Happy New Year and a very Merry 12th Night.

    Did that in my ambulance rv conversion. But, I used an old brass Japanese bowel i found on eBay.
    But, I will be getting those brass fittings - weights to put at the bottom of the faucet tube to weight it down.
    Great idea there !! 😊

    Great video and good use of new technology! You might want to consider adding a gray water septic system so that you don’t have to empty the drainage container every time it fills up. There are two great videos on how to do this by the Off Grid Homesteader, the boss of the swamp, in which he shows step by step how to connect the drain to a permanent septic drainage system with very little effort or expense involved. Carry on!!

  • @desertangelfish140
    @desertangelfish140 День тому +1

    I bought one of these to use on my homestead and it was a game changer! I packed it up to take on a camping trip. When I plugged it in again back home it wouldn't work. They aren't very durable but it definite luxury.

    Hi Brooke - we did something similar with our cargo trailer conversion, but we added a "boat horn switch" for the floor that my husband hard-wired to the faucet. This saves a ton of water, as it turns off when you touch it with your toe..

Also, when I leave my cabin, I just pull the tube out of the water and run it for a few sec and it's freeze proof. Thanks for the link, I paid $30 for mine somewhere else.

    I have two of the exact same faucet set up and love it!
    You'll notice the water flow starts getting a little bit slower so just stick it back on the charger when you go to bed.
    I have one outside on the porch that way when I'm working outside I don't have to go inside just to wash my hands I just stuck it right on top of the jug on the one on the porch with a shallow dish pan to catch the water.
    The dog down the street knows to come to my house for freshwater LOL she'll just stand there looking at The jug waiting for me to fill it for her.

    Would have gave a nice bit of storage under your sink if you drilled holes for tubes in the shelf and then had the rest of the shelf for whatever.
