Hey fellas,
Have any of you mounted the above footwell tank in the second row of your 80? If so, I'd like some feedback on it. Are you able to move your front electric seats all the way to the rear w/o hitting the tank? Does the saddle tank pose any issues? I figured, once the water level drops 2" or so, you essentially have two five gal tanks with their own outlets. Please post up any pics if you got some.
In my 80, the second row seats are gone and a simple wooden platform spans the area and I think this tank will fit under the platform and stay secured. I'll keep an eye out for an used one until I get tired of looking and pay for a new one!
I know there are under the body water tank solutions but not sure if one can be had stateside for a decent coin. If you have any leads, please let me know. I really like the idea of keeping all the water weight as low as possible so I'm ignoring any solutions like the rear Q panel water bags, or any of the other Front Runner tanks.
I have a Helton H.E. under the hood and a spare Shurflo pump on the shelf. I was thinking of some ways to bring the two water hoses into the cab for heating up the water, only for showering purposes. If you have any clever solutions, please include a link. However, for most of my water needs, just using gravity fed water for washing dishes and faces is sufficient. On second thought, I could simply gravity feed about two gal of water into a collapsible container that I tend to carry (catching grey water or grabbing water from a creek for washing) and simply heat it up with my current Helton shower kit setup in order to keep things KISS. http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/helton.html
