A Cooling Cabinet Within the Water Layout
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
SketchUp helped me plan interior equipment before closing the surfaces. For the Express Water chiller purchase, that means considering the cabinet, tubing and control access together. Chiller Daddy offers another under-sink format, while the larger Elkay remote cabinet changes where the cooling equipment sits relative to the dispensing point.

Equipment Type
Point-of-use water chiller
Connections
Separate water inlet, outlet and electrical supply
The PC2000 is a water chiller rather than a filter or a water-storage tank. Express Water’s original guide illustrates its water connections and describes the installation and operating controls. In a camper-van cabinet, the physical questions include the tubing route, access to the controls and the space around the cooling enclosure. Keeping those items together on the layout makes the chiller easier to reach after shelves and panels are fitted. The manufacturer’s guide also provides a troubleshooting reference, which helps distinguish a water-flow issue from a cooling or power-supply issue when checking the equipment later.
It is a water chiller. Filtration equipment is a separate part of the water-system layout.

Two Alternatives to Compare
Chiller Daddy uses another under-sink cabinet format. Elkay ECH8 is a larger remote chiller, making cabinet space and the connection layout important differences between the alternatives.
