Bummer - thought it might be a separate 30 gallon slide in tank...water tank from camp kitchen.
I would be interested in water tanks that mounted on the shuttle!Bummer - thought it might be a separate 30 gallon slide in tank...
I'm hoping someone makes an insertable cooler for the gear tunnel. Would be nice, have a removable ice pack that slides in. Trips to the grocery store up north can take like 30+ minutes and in the rare 80-90 degree heat, frozen/refrigerated foods don't last without a cooler.I would be interested in water tanks that mounted on the shuttle!
I've reached out to a company that makes custom tanks and asked if they'd be interested. I'd envision a 1/2 length tank (15 G?) with an add on option of an electric water heater - think hot showers and water. I have the Isotherm Slim 4 Gallon in my sprinter with a 25 G water tank and it works great.I would be interested in water tanks that mounted on the shuttle!
I'm thinking about trying to fit one in the void space behind the battery between the frame rails on my LE. Would rather use the weather safe storage for actual useful stuff.I've reached out to a company that makes custom tanks and asked if they'd be interested.

So, are you thinking each side of the orange cable at the back of the battery in this photo? How much space do you think is there?I'm thinking about trying to fit one in the void space behind the battery between the frame rails on my LE.

20-30 gallons easy. That's part of the area the max pack is going to use. Should be possible to build a tank with a 12V heating element to make it a 4 season tank.So, are you thinking each side of the orange cable at the back of the battery in this photo? How much space do you think is there?

Honestly, they've been dragging this series out so long I've pretty much lost interest in the whole thing.Of the videos posted in this series, this one was the least interesting to me. The reviewers talked about themselves more than what they were doing.
Iād rather a cooler in the front trunk. Itās a much more accessible space for it. For instance, you can get to it when parked in a standard parking spot with vehicles or other obstacles on the side.I'm hoping someone makes an insertable cooler for the gear tunnel.

The articles wonāt even be in print until the January 2022 issue!Honestly, they've been dragging this series out so long I've pretty much lost interest in the whole thing.
