Gravity feed is a must,
... though it can be handy to have one of those little brass taps that takes a little padlock so a ‘passerby’ doesn’t leave it running.
I’m looking for some at the moment.

I see you also have an inlet filter Grips
also a must to avoid blocking the pump.
Another problem, that I recently corrected,
is to ensure there’s a proper breather
for the tank so a vacuum doesn’t hinder draw
of water.

I use the Cruiser not as an overlander only. Storing camping equipment is always a problem. The drawer system is built to slide out if not needed.
The Water tank batteries and water pump are all fixed items on the drawer system.
Made brackets that bolts down the drawer system to the Canopy. I can take off the whole lot when lifting off the canopy. Easy to store the combination.

You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4

This time of the year is rough. With some motivation from Manny I planned to join the YEF.
Unfortunately I had to organize and attend an ongoing work project.
Late Saturday afternoon I managed to install the pump. Will post some pics later.

Made brackets for the water outlets and did all the pluming. Bracket for the geyser also completed but still needs to be installed.
Gravity feed outlet should something goes wrong with the pump Pump installed. Battery to join pump in the leftover space Brackets for water outlets attached to drawer system Geyser hot and cold water supply with hot and cold water outlets Outlets for shower on the other side of the Cruiser,

Nice watching a project progress to what you want it to be.
Fun part is you always find something that will work better and off you go again!
Well done!

Very neatly done. Some valid questions above.
Also interesting that you went for one fuse to cover all BH plugs

The Thick wires come out of the big Brad Harrison, they then go behind the board, come through to the front where they go into the clear fuse boxes.
From the fuse boxes there are 5 red & 5 black wires that go to the 5 smaller 50Amp Brad Harrisons.
So the relays & the C-tek is not connected to the Brad Harrison stand-alone circuit...
