Hi Everybody,
been busy working on this water filter system. In my original post I used a single filter which did not produce enough water pressure inside the KL to shower or even wash dishes. So I opted to scrap that entire system and bought a dual Jumbo filter system from the RV water parts store. I ended up mounting the system in the front of the KL along side of the Generator Prep box. I cut a 22"x28"x3/4" plywood board, installed 1/4" carriage bolts. sprayed it with marine varnish, then covered it in Black trunk linning. I then drilled into the Gen Prep box on the right side as you are looking at it, and bolted it in place. I then mounted the water filters and ran the water hoses wrapped in foam pipe wrap between the frame of the KL and the outside wall. I connected those hoses to a bulk head I fashioned out of 1/4" aluminum, bolted to the support bracket from the frame. The hose from the filter then can be connected to the water regulator mounted in the UDC by un-screwing the UDC bottom cover. When in transit the water hose lays between the Black Hose carrier and the frame with a cap on it. Works perfect, I have 60 PSI in to the regulator from the filters and when the water is running inside the KL it drops to 40 PSI with 3.4 Gal per min.
I wrapped all the hoses in foam pipe wrap to help prevent freezing. When I get to the campground, I just hook up the heated water hose to the outside connection on the bulkhead.
Happy Camping,
