Shurflo 4048 High-Flow Water Pump
This pump has a flow rate of 4 gal/min. It may be overkill for most van conversions, but we really like it for our setup. The Shower pressure is great! If you are looking for a more standard pump (3gal/min) we would recommend the Shurflo Revolution: https://www.campingworld.com/shurflo-revolution-water-pump-49007.html
This kit is essentially two braided vinyl hoses with threaded female connectors on both sides. They are used to connect your water pump to your fresh water supply and out to your faucets. They help reduce the noise that comes from the vibration of the pump.
These wire strippers are one of my favorite tools. They can cut and strip wire up to 12awg. They are plastic and have small blades so don’t try anything larger.
Ancor Single-Crimp Ratchet Tool
If you use heat shrink connectors in your wiring, you’ll need a good set of single crimpers to get a tight crimp without damaging the heat shrink. This pair is solid as with the rest of Ancor’s products.
I used these Ancor Heat Shrink Disconnects to wire the water pump:
Acuva ArrowMAX 2.0 UV-LED 12V Water Purifier with Advanced Pre-Filter and Smart Faucet
This is a pretty sweet streamlined system that provides fresh filtered water on demand at around 1/2 gal per min. Although it seemed really well made, we ended up not using the Smart Faucet from this package and opted for a single 3-way faucet that matched the cabinet hardware.
ABS Shower Pan, 24” x 36” x 4 5/8”, White with Left Drain
This 2’x3’ plastic shower tray is sloped to drain and has a level base made of styrofoam. We used it for our wet bath and find that its just large enough for us to shower and use our composting toilet in.
Blue Sea Systems Traditional Metal Panel, DC 6 Positions
This is the first build that I’ve used these Blue Sea breaker panels for power distribution. Its really nice to be able to see the branch circuits and be able to easily cut them off if necessary.
Blue Sea ST Blade Fuse Block - 12 Circuits w/Cover & Negative Bus
I wired one of these 12-circuit fuse blocks up to the main DC breaker panel to run most of our “Accessories” like fans, outlets, etc, as well as two 6-circuit blocks for “Lights” and a “Spare”.
MaxxFan Deluxe Remote Control RV Ventilator System, Smoke Lid
This is the tried and true exhaust fan we use on all of our builds. Its pretty nice to have the electric lid opening feature and remote control.
MaxxAir MaxxFan Dome Plus with Cool White LED Lighting, Black
This is a great little fan that has a small footprint on the roof. It has one speed and is a little noisy, but we only use it when we want to keep the wet bath vented. The light on it is a nice plus as well.
Weekender by ParkPower Electrical Inlet, 30 Amp Black Inlet
Because we have a larger battery bank we thought it would be nice to be able to charge more quickly at a 30A campground pedestal. We can also charge from a standard 15A receptacle (household outlet) by using a pigtail adapter on the 30A cord and adjusting the current limit on our Multiplus using the CCGX.
Blue Sea 1011 12V DC Socket, Black
We used these 12volt sockets throughout the van with usb charging plugs for most of them to power/charge our usb devices. We also plug directly into one of them with our Dyson vacuum car charger.
