Will it fit?
- 20kw PowerTech Generator. Check!
- 70 gallon fresh water tank. Check! 45 gallon grey/black water tank. Check!
- Propane tank holder. Check!
- Four propane tanks (any two sets of 20lb, 30lb or 40lb tanks). Check!
- Rinnai propane tankless water heater. Check! Automatic switching regulator. Check!
- 45 gallon electric water heater. Check!
- 42,000 BTU Tri-zone Mitsubishi heat pump. Check!
Yes! It all fits.
Everything is easily serviceable too. The propane tank holder slides out and leaves a comfortable spot to sit while working on the generator, electric water heater, or plumbing. All of the house equipment fits the last bay. There is exactly 14'6" (three standard bays) available for storage; it is equivalent to a 40' eagle without anything in the bays!
The water heaters will be plumbed to hose bibs on the bulkhead wall with stainless steel braided washing machine hose. The water heaters have been converted from NPT to GHT to accept the washing machine hose. The washing machine hoses will be the only water lines that need heat tape and insulation. All of the other water lines will be run inside the cabinets (like Fleetwood does) and a few lines inside the heated storage bay.
As much of the equipment as possible is painted black to hide behind the expanded metal vents. The outside edge of the bottom rail and all of the open storage bays will all be painted light grey.
I still have a lot of work to do- wiring, plumbing, supporting the low voltage conduits and power steering lines in the tunnel, etc. I am just glad everything fits as planned.
