Water System

I’ve designed a compact yet versatile water system for my setup, starting with a 25-gallon fresh water tank connected to the sink via PEX plumbing. The system also features a flush-mounted exterior water output, perfect for showers under the stars or rinsing off after a muddy trail.

For grey water, I’m using a 5-gallon Coleman tank paired with a custom 3D-printed quick-connect adapter, making it super easy to detach and empty.

The inspiration for this system came largely from this awesome guide, though I swapped in a few alternative components to better suit my needs.

Electrical System

• 280ah Lithium Battery with BMS (Eco-Worthy Battery)
• (2) 200w Renogy Solar panels
• 2000W Renogy Inverter
• 100V 50A Victron MPPT Solar Charge Controller (Bluetooth)
• (1) AC Outlet
• 12V DC Subpanel with multiple 3d printed switch plates

Other Custom Upgrades

• Remote-Controlled Lighting: Illuminate the space at the touch of a button from the entrance or within bed and still keep all the dimming capabilities of the Tune lighting system.
• Custom Topographic Curtains
• 3D-Printed Accessories Galore: From soap bottle holder to cup holders, dimmer remote mount, coat hooks, curtain rod brackets, and paper towel holder—every detail has been thoughtfully designed and printed for maximum utility.
• Magnetic Mosquito Netting: For hot summer days I can enjoy fresh air without the bugs, thanks to custom-fit bug screens for the side doors.
