I'm rebuilding my 18' Toyota Sunrader and now I'm building a totally new interior. My plan is to meander through Mexico, Central America and South America and to keep hassles to a minimum I want to make things really SIMPLE. For example... instead of an electric water pump to my bathroom sink faucet I was thinking of having the water come from a gravity fed 2.5 gallon plastic tank (see photo below) that will be in a cabinet above the sink. I was thinking of running a piece of pvc pipe from where the spigot currently is on the 2.5 gallon tank to the brass spigot (see photo below) above the sink because those spigots turn on and off with a half turn. I started this thread because I need ideas please for how to plumb the pipe to the 2.5 gallon container. It must be quick connect/disconnect so I can easily refill the tank when needed. One idea I had was to use quick connect brass fittings (see photo below) like the kind used for air compressor hoses but I'm concerned that a 1/2" connector would impede the flow of water. Perhaps use PEX fittings?? What do you think? Any ideas...and even completely different ideas for doing this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
