Water Lines

The water lines on this trailer were aluminum and so corroded that the lines fell apart in my hands. The tank was an old soldered sheet metal tank that God knows what was growing inside. So I ripped it all out and replaced the sheet metal water tank with a custom plastic tank. The water lines for both city and the on board water was replaced with new copper lines (1/2 to 3/8). I got the old hand water pump and the tank fill port stripped polished and re-chromed. The hand pump had channel lock marks all over the base and need a little TLC before it was re-chromed. The city water faucet was toast so I bought a new replica faucet.

Water lines.   I know, the 3/8 line is about as straight as Lombard St.

Shiny, and the bakelite handle tip is intact. 

Installed

I had a hard time getting the hand pump to work so I pulled the guts and installed a 12v pump. 

Polish

We also recently had the exterior and the new propane tanks polished by Jesse owner of Pkazzo's Paint Restoration and Mobile Detailing.  Nice work Jesse!

Kitchen

Haven't posted in a while, but I'm just back from the Pismo Beach Vintage Trailer Rally and got some inspiration. We're almost done with the kitchen, I just need to complete the plumbing.

Recovered the dinette cushions with Sunbrella fabric. 

Original and still works!
