The system had two water filters two pump's and a instant hot water heater. I was going to move the water heater to another compartment but decided not to, in the first picture you can see the hole where the water heater goe's. The reason for moving it was to excess to the Gen. However the gen is on a slide out tray.

Andy, What type of genset do you have? Also which bay is it located in? Would love to see some pics of that too, when you have time, no big hurry.

Can't wait to see it in person!

Great job!

Paul We have a 12.5 KW with remote start in the kitchen and in the drivers area.
This is the Gen it's in the last bay in front of the tag axle, The sheet metal box is heat exhaust. on the back side of the compartment is a 24 x 12 " screened openning for intake. We have a radiator in the front of the bus that cools the Gen and is tired into the main Radiator
