Grab some popcorn, this is a long one.
I’ve just completed the plumbing system in the 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 I’ve been converting. Turns out I have a lot to say about plumbing.
The start of the video mostly concerns designing a system that won’t hinder future travels. The second part of the video covers details about what I consider a “perfect compromise” for how I like to camp.
If you found this entertaining, educational or even enraging, consider buying me a coffee...or a beer;). Please use the link:
