Where to put water pump
Hello again, Silly question but long story short I bought a gutted RV that was designed for city hookups, no tanks of any kind. I have gotten to the stage where I am going to install the plumbing and do not know where in the system my water pump should go. I have well water. Does a garden hose provide enough pressure since the well has a pump or should I put a pump somewhere between the water heater and the shower / sink? Don't worry I am on my own unregulated land and the shower /sink will only be used with non toxic 100% organic soaps and run out to a gravel bed run off.1KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Switching out amperage box

Yeah completely gutted, just installed the floors but the walls and ceiling are still bare. Old electrical is 30 amp and the box is laying on the floor so I have the opportunity to wire however I like but 50 amp box makes more sense in case I want to move it, use shore power somewhere etc without too much hassle.515Views0likes0CommentsSwitching out amperage box
Ok, so I've been looking and have not seen this question arise. With all of the electrical conversions people use out there, (home power vs shore power etc) The one question I have is....what if instead of being limited by what your RV's electrical system can handle vs the amount of power available to you at the source (30amp / 50amp shore and 15amp home electrical outlet), could you theoretically just hard wire your RV with a 100amp box to use a 100/150/200amp electrical pole on your own property? I know you can just bypass your RV's electrical system with an extension cord from such a pole and run anything you want, but could you theoretically just wire (box and breakers, circuits / appropriately gauged wires etc) your RV for this purpose to begin with? I am going to live in my 2005 gulfstream (gutted and rebuilt with non-VCO materials) and I need to be able to run my ac/heat, appliances year round and use whatever electronic devices I want. I turned one end of the RV into a mobile sound studio and have a bunch of music equipment as well. Is this possible?2KViews0likes15Comments
