Will I have to cut the exisitng pipes and re-route them? These are just a few questions that I am going to be asking myself from now until Saturday. I maybe looking pretty desperate on Sunday. It is VERY difficult to justify $150 install fee!!
If yours is like mine (pics here), you'll have to cut the gray tubing. If you go to the plumbing stores, you should be able to find Qest-brand fittings that will work on that pipe. The other option is a crimper and the metallic bands. Outside of that, it shouldn't be a major problem to replace.
P.S. I think we've talked about this before, but you may want to consider putting in a bypass at the same time to make winterizing easier.
Another problem I see with the Suburban....it looks TOO long to me for the space in the van
It looks to me like their tank is situated length-wise which is opposite the way an Atwood is built...
The depth of that area is only 18 total inches in depth...
Directly behind the tank is where the waterpump is mounted and behind that there is black plastic plumbing pipe....that takes 8' away from the depth you have to work with..
The Suburban won't fit into that space due to its depth...
Their website says it 20 3/4 deep.....won't fit Kyle

My water pump is located underneath the sink and from the rough measurments I made I believe it will fit. It sounds like this job went from easy to complicated real quick.
Never seen a water pump under the sink in a B190...but thats a plus for ya
Do you have that black plastic pipe in that compartment like in the picture above...??
Behind what you see in the picture thats vertical, there is another piece that runs horizontal on the floor that can't' be moved....thats a problem when depth is an issue
