More work done today, got the copper pipe made for the compressor. Then measured the start up and running current draw. 80 amps on start up and 50 running. Sweet. Had a little air leak, but it's fixed now. Covered the copper and fittings in firesleeve.
Then moved to the water system. Got the pump, accumulator, and filter all mounted up. Then started on making the pex pipes for everything. It came out great, pex was pretty easy to work with. Then mounted up the uv light filter. It's mounted on the side trim panel. The top pipe from the water tank is the vent, it runs up the roll bar and has a air filter on it. Was going to call it a day but pushed on and made the faucet mount. Just waiting for the paint to dry.
I'll start either the wiring or the air lines tomorrow. I accidentally miscalculated the total amperage for the electrical panel, so had to bump up the wire a gauge to 2 awg. Should be perfect. Oh the solar panel need to be mounted up and related stuff for it.
