Im trying to get some pictures organized. I have a tendency to plan then buy things when I see a good value. Problem is now I'm having to squeeze around all the things I have bought. LOL

Way to go man!! I would have gone nuts with the fresh water tank size given it's a toyhauler. But that's cool when people conserve so props if that's the intent.

With all the solar I would think you would want more fresh water.
Much rather have 2x 20# propane (or 2x30#) with automatic regulator over the single 40# cylinder.

Looks like a good project. Post some pics when available.

Would two 20 pound propane tanks be easier to fill? Then when one empties you switch and refill...
