Lining the Bottom

So I took the entire tank apart to start the process of lining it.
During this time I'm double checking the plumbing system -
this is a full rookie design.


The pipe on the right will take water out of the tank to the cleaning system.
The pipe on the left is the return for cleaned water coming back into the tank.



I've lined the entire area with foil insulation and placed the water bed heater.



Here's a view from the back of the tank - you can see the controls.

Painted the Shower

So I painted the shower area - Thanks Aleece & Karen for picking the colors!


In the long run the back walls will be covered for the shower area.
The front of the tank will be a slightly darker version of this.

Plumbing is Close

So after rounding up all the pieces I set the plumbing up today.
Waiting to make sure it's correct before gluing it all together.

The top and bottom pipes are for air flow.


Close up.



And inside the tank.

Painting the Shower Area

Wow - white will sure brighten up a room fast.
Did a few coats of primer today - turned out OK.


Had some extra so did a little more of the ceiling than I was planning on.
After seeing how bright it made everything might as well.

Plumbing and the Back

So with the plumbing equipment arriving I built a container to hold it.
A simple raised box to let ant water drain to the shower area in the front of the trailer.
Sealed it up with a little water proof spray to finish it off.



Here it is in relationship to the back of the tank


The lines will go on each side.
Two other holes will be cut here for convection air flow.

Covering the Front

Before I can put the liner in I need to somewhat
prep the front of the trailer for when a shower goes in.
Here is the piece that will cover the front and have the door.

One of the next step is going to be to design the door.

Covering the Internal Pieces

Now that the front is done I took everything apart
and cover the interior with plywood.


These will be cover with insulation and a plastic covering.

Added a Door

With the tank now right in the middle I've put in the second door.
I wounder what people think when I walk out one only to go into the other?






The Front is Done!

So going with a triangle wasn't so bad at the start.
When it cam t to making the entry I ran into some problems.
This took way longer than it should have.
The 2 edge support had 5 different angled cuts each
We lost some wood here. 



But it's done!
