    Wirklich ein gut durchdachtes und aus Erfahrung und Praxis heraus geplantes Wassersystem, genau wie es , finde ich sein soll - possibly to do it yourself and kept simple 👍
    Betreffend der Rohre für euer shower System, kann ich die Rohre der Marke GEBERIT und hier die Serie Silent PP empfehlen- Vorteil 1.) die Rohre sind bereits schwarz - heizen also bei Sonnenlicht bereits den Inhalt sehr gut auf, 2.) mit einer Wandstärke von über 3mm sind sie wesentlich widerstandsfähiger als die meisten anderen 3.) laut Hersteller vertragen die Verbindungen 2 Bar Druck
    Benötigt wird ein Putzstück mit verschraubbarer Öffnung, ein z.B 1000mm langes Rohrstück mit Muffen an jedem Ende und zwei Muffenstopfen ( gesamt passen da um die 20l Wasse rein)
    Dazu 2 3/4“ Tankdurchführungen (wie z.B. für Regentonnen) zwei Kugelhähne und zwei passende Gardena Anschlüsse und natürlich ein Ventil für Entlüftung bzw. um über einen Kompressor Druck auf das Rohr zu bringen…
    Die gesamte Bauanleitung wäre hier zu aufwendig, aber eigentlich ist der Zusammenbau selbsterklärend, wenn man erst mal alle Teile der Liste vor sich liegen hat 😜
    Ich habe meine Rohre mit Siccaflex verklebt und die einzelnen Segmente zusätzlich mit kurzen Holzschrauben, oben und an den Seiten verschraubt, wobei ich die Löcher auch vorher mit Siccaflex gefüllt habe und nach dem verschrauben, abgedichtet habe, das hält sogar über 3.5 Bar aus, die ich mit einem kleinen 12V Kompressor, über ein Ventil, wie es für Alufelgen verwendet wird, anlege, wenn ich duschen will.
    Warmwassererzeugung über Wärmeplattentauscher und Heizkreislauf habe ich auch verbaut, allerdings zusammen mit einer SurFlow Wasserpumpe, über die ich bei Bedarf, Wasser entweder aus zwei seitlich am Defender befestigten 20l US- Army Plastik Wasserkanister entnehmen kann, oder direkt aus einem Bach, Fluss oder einer Quelle und natürlich auch einem Waseranschluss abpumpen kann. Als Filter verwende ich bei Bedarf das ALB System (zugegeben nicht billig aber klein und handlich) mit am Schlauch vorgestecktem Grobfilter von Kärcher.
    Da ich zur Zeit noch keine Reisen in Gegenden mit Temperaturen um den Gefrierpunkt plane, reichen zur Zeit noch die beiden 20l Kanister an den Seiten sowie zwei 20l X-treme Kanister von Tigerexped - ebenfalls in schwarz - auf dem Dach.
    Aber irgendwann ist eine Innenlösung angedacht…
    In Wirklichkeit wird man(n) ja eigentlich nie ganz fertig 😜😜😜
    Viel Glück noch auf eurer Reise!!

      Hey Alexander, sorry für die späte Antwort!
      Dein System klingt auch wohl durchdacht!
      Ich denke bei den Rohren für die Dusche muss man nehmen was man bekommt. wenn ich nochmal eine bauen muss werde ich Aluminium nehmen. Um dann Ruhe zuhaben 😅 Plastik mag einfach keine Sonne auf Dauer.
      Bezüglich der Wassertank… nach Diskussionen mit Tobi von „Olga on Tour“ sind wir beide überein gekommen das wir für Europa wohl in Zukunft auf einen isolierten unterfuhr Tank gehen würden 😅. Wie du sagst man wird halt nie fertig. Auch hätte ich die Wasser Abschlüsse für den Wärmetauscher gerne irgendwo wo man drankommt ohne die Motorhaube auf zu machen.
      Andererseits denke ich, wir sind mit der Kiste um die Welt gefahren, nichts ist kaputt gegangen und wir haben nichts so wirklich vermisst. warum also weiter bauen und Ding komplizierter machen 😅

    I like the practical simple design of your system eliminating sources of failure where possible. Before this I was looking at filtering all my water going into and out of the tank like #TheRoadChoseMe possible but maybe not necessary for my needs.

    • @Thebluelandy
      @Thebluelandy  Рік тому

      Hey Peter, yeah in my opinion it's overkill to filter everything all the time. I guess what we forgot to mention is that we use Micropur (silver ions) every once in a while to keep the tank hygienic, especially if we use questionable water sources. I guess you don't need it in regions where the water has added chlorine.

    Eugene, Oregon, USA.
    One of my hobbies is walking wrecking-yards aka vehicle 'dismantlers'.
    After a junk wrecked or burned factory RecreateVehicle is stripped of its aluminum siding, the internals are visible.
    .
    Invariably, their translucent fresh-water tanks are laden with sediment from unfiltered water during filling.
    Often, tanks have several inches (a fist-high/75mm) of muddy muck in the washing and drinking water.
    We think a sediment filter on the inlet is reasonable.
    .
    Without suspended debris, the UV light can ZAP! the tiny trespassers.
    With suspended debris, bacteria and viruses can hide behind the floating crud, in the shadows... and the UV is ineffective.

    • @Thebluelandy
      @Thebluelandy  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for sharing your experiences!
      Sometimes I think having a sediment filter to fill the tank would be great. But if you have already low pressure or you even need to fill the tank with a bucket it doesn't help.
      I designed the tank compartment that you can take out the tank easily to clean it every once in a while. We had hardly any sand in the tank after 2 years of intensive usage.

      Good point, we’ll soon make a video showing the Shower including the warm water system. We can add it there.
      But basically there are two ways to fill it.
      If we have a tap we just connect a hose in the front and open it in the back so the air can escape. If we fill it from a river or so we just open the back lid and pour water in with a bucket.

    • @Thebluelandy

      Hey! We have been traveling many years with different setups(also smaller cars). Including many years with no electric water system, using water canisters and using buckets to shower. Yes, this works of course, but for continued use (every day) it gets pretty tiring to live like this. For a couple of weeks trip it was absolutely no problem, but for longer periods we value a lot the comfort our system gives us. And yes, when you add anything electric you need to deal with one more component breaking. And I understand your concerns with reliability. We value this as well! So far nothing on the electric side broke. 👍

    Really nice setup ... obviously well thought out and I like the separate drinking water solution. I was considering an inline filter for the water using 1/2" fitting Reverse Osmosis filters. They're quite big though but I have a lot of experience with them having a 5 10" filters for RO/DI in the house. But the filters are very cheap and widely available.

    • @Thebluelandy
      @Thebluelandy  Рік тому +1

      Hey, thank you! Yeah inline Filter are also a good solution but we decided against it cause we would need more pressure and therefore another pump. More pressure also means (most of the time) more water consumption. In the end we did the math and saw that our current system would cost us half of the other options.

      Hey, yes we have a 10P(early) TD5, I'm happy with the engine, and I would again go with a TD5 maybe next time get a 15P (late) TD5 but only cause it's easier to remap the engine.
      To be honest I don't know too much about the other LR engines, I worked on the TD5 and at a 2.4 TDI (puma) they both seem to be good and reliable engines. In the beginning everyone said the TD5 is not reliable cause of its electrics and the control unit. And yes you should check for oil in the plugs at the ECU. And there are other things like the screw of the oil pump that should be checked every once in a while.
      But I strongly believe that, if you look after things they will last long. We were lucky and we bought a car that was looked after and is so far reliable. 👍

    I really like the realtive simplicity. We are still on a 'canister and PET' concept with mobile filter for occasional use. It seems you are comfortable with using unfiltered water on the body and for cooking and washing dishes?
    Also, are you using the inline pump to get water from a river for example?

    • @Thebluelandy
      @Thebluelandy  Рік тому

      Hey Frank, thanks! Yeah we didn’t want to go with PET there is already enough plastic out there and for us it’s so easy to avoid.
      Yeah, on the dishes I don’t have a problem and showering as well. If I go to a basic lodge or camping the showers are most of the time also not filtered. Just try to not drink tons of water while showering 😂.
      We tried here and there to pump water with the inline pump but it didn't work so great cause it's not self-priming. And except for high mountains we avoid rivers as a water source

      ​@@Thebluelandy :-) Understand the pump issue. Then how do you get water in the tank where no threaded tap is available (sorry for being a bit slow on this :) For example, we encountered freshwater sources in Italy and Albania where you could only hold a canister under a tap/hose/hole in the wall or fill it from a basin below. But the older you get, the less you can carry :-) so ideally we would like to put a hose in such a basin/well and let the pump do the heavy lifting :)

    • @Thebluelandy
      @Thebluelandy  Рік тому +1

      We have a 135 degrees funnel and a dry bag that we use as bucket to fill the tank. You could use a submergable pump those exist as self priming. But they in general don't like dirt or sand.
      We also bring some multi-purpose/flexible connectors with those we were able to connect to almost every hose or tap.
