Super Simple DIY Campervan Plumbing System with Water Purification and NO Powered Needed We built our very simple DIY plumbing system for our VW T6 campervan conversion. We have zero plumbing experience and this was easy enough for us to do ourselves. Our Fresh Water System: The water is pumped using a manual hand pump to create pressure in the system so no electric power is required. We used a 20L jerry can that contains an inbuilt hand pump as well as a water filter. We chose to use this in our plumbing system because it means we can fill up our water from a non-drinking water source such as a river or lake if we don't have access to fresh water. The drinking water leaves the jerry can through a food grade hose and connects to a braided hose that leads into the tap. We've attached a quick disconnect fitting onto the hose to make it easier to remove the jerrycan when filling. We only have cold water in this plumbing system but we have used a mixer tap because we wanted this specific tap that has a pull out hose so we can use it outside the van as well as in the sink. To make sure the hot pipe doesn't leak we had to attach a stopper but if we do wish to add hot water in the future all we have to do is remove the stopper and add a pump. We've used a standard kitchen sink rather than a campervan sink. This is because we wanted a large sink for washing up and also so that we can easily have a wash at the sink since we have no shower. Our Grey Water System: The grey water (waste water) system is extremely simple. We attached a p trap (u-bend) onto the sink waste, then added an overflow and waste hose connector so that we could attach a short hose pipe which drops the grey water into a 22L jerry can. U bends are normally used to prevent bad odours but this isn't as effective in a van due the movement of the vehicle. The only reason we used the u bend is because it happened to have the right connects that we needed to join the sink waste to the hose connector. We made sure to use a jerry can that has a tap on it, this means that we can just attach a hose and open the tap to drain the water rather than having to take it out to empty it.

Craig demonstrates how to remove your wheelchair wheels and put on new wheelchair wheels while still seated in your wheelchair and balancing on one wheel. This is particularly useful when exiting the house and wanting to use offroad wheels or entering the house and not wanting to bring dirty wheel inside. We demonstrate several ways to do this independently and also an assisted variation. Missed our last video?

Join us as we learn what it's like to live with a spinal cord injury, discover the challenges wheelchair users have to face and overcome and search for wheelchair accessible hotspots. We want to show you how much paraplegics can still do and that there is life after paralysis! #paraplegic #spinalcordinjury #wheelchair ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-WgWRdox_w

Paralife Episode 4 - How we use the cinema and the gym in a wheelchair. This is our third week since Craig left rehab after his SCI. We first show you what it's like to go to the cinema as a wheelchair user and how a paraplegic could transfer into a cinema seat. We then try out a new gym for the first time and find out how accessible the gym is for paraplegic wheelchair users.

Get 15% off Provacan at https://provacan.co.uk/shop/ using the code PARALIFE Muscle spasms are a side effect of a spinal cord injury. We had the opportunity to test out CBD oil which many paraplegics and quadriplegics we know rave about for reducing muscle spasms. Craig tested the CBD oil twice daily to see whether it reduced his spams as well as to see if there were any side effects from using it. We also go through common questions about CBD such 'as is it legal?', 'does it make you high?' and 'how does it taste?'. Did CBD reduce Craigs spasms? - 08:52 Did Craig experience any side effects from taking CBD? - 09:39 Do we think it's worth trying CBD oil as a way of managing muscle spasms? - 10:18 Missed first video on muscle spasms?
