We're taking a trip in January to Disney and a few other spots down there, it'll be the first test run so I'll let you know how it turns out. It's wired and plumbed, and a coworker is going to evacuate it this weekend.
In other news I'm on my final push to finish everything for that trip. Propane hardlines are in, wrapped up the final pieces of AC wiring, ands is final install of the counter sink and cabinets. Grey water system is in, as is half of the fresh water system (faucet done but not shower). I used a section of 6" well casing for my 'tank' which all told holds about 10 gallons. Drains and vents perfect when the trailers level, or draining to an external sewage connection. Though it tends to 'burp' if it's closed and the trailer isn't leveled. I'm using a pressure tank on the freshwater side. It provides about a gallon and a half of pressurized water in reserve without the pump on or any inputs to the system. Hopefully that evens out pressure fluctautions from the pump/filter/heater. Other than the external city water connection I'll just be drawing fresh from blue Aquitainer tanks with the Rv pump. They hold 7 gallons apiece which balances perfectly with the grey tank size. Picked up a 'refurb' external on demand water heater, and ordered a ARB fridge freezer, and teetering on a Dickerson furnace purchase right now. I should be building my seating/lower bunk and getting deliver of the rest of the pieces this week. We'll see how it goes.
I'll post some pics here in the next few days.
Cheers.
