No turning back now

Nice writeup. At some point, I plan to also put in this unit...

Is this model plumbed in to your freshwater supply, or do you fill the water reservoir separately? (From the pictures, it looks like the latter option...)

[Adolphus]

The Thetford c402c cassette toilet model I bought has a built in separate reservoir which is filled independently from the main fresh water tank. I could have plumbed it from the main tank, but prefer it separate.

Bathroom complete and feels roomier. Shower pressure is just a drizzle, but adequate. I’m looking for a less yellow light and also plan on treating the sink bowl chemically to bring back the original white. I’m pleased with the increased toilet seat height with the added 1.5” base.

Looks great! The way Westfalia intended.

Thanks! I’ve located a set of shower heads that hopefully will provide a stronger stream (less nozzles and maybe less internal restriction) from iboats.com: Scandvik part number IB00288989

Thank you so much for taking to time to share this. I'd argue one of the most consistent problems westy owners deal with are the A/C and Between the Eat,drink,men,woman blog (unbelievable information as well) and your post, it seems like the solution is becoming more streamline.

FYI, here is a picture of my Generator relocation method. I used a standard driver side spare tire carrier, upside down, cut the door side mounting bracket and welded a new one on to clear the door handle. The box is just a reinforced aluminum box, with boat hull covers to allow for ventilation intake and a 500CFM 110v fan for cooling. You would be blown away at how quiet this setup is. Hard wired into the input from the previous Onan genset.

If you use an easy start module a honda eu 2200i (new version of eu200) should easily be able to power a 13.5k or 15k btu AC. (https://www.microair.net/collections...nt=30176048267)

I fitted a more powerful water pump that made a huge difference in pressure. the GPM might be higher, but we find we use the same amount of water as it doesn't take as long to "de-soap".

The video doesn't do it justice, but the generator is essentially inaudible at about 100 feet. Especially if you are in the woods.

Thanks! Can you provide info on the water pump you chose? I tried to access your google links but the site says I need special permission.

Should work now.

Here is the pump I used: http://a.co/d/26fJ2zF

The inlet hose from the van water system actually fits inside the pump output, miraculously, rather that over the outlet like the original pump.
