I bought this large-bore silicone tubing with my plumbing materials. Routing space mattered in my interior plan because the tank and shower openings came before the framing and finishes.

The item in my kit
I bought Quickun One-and-a-Half-Inch Silicone Tubing as part of my camper van equipment.
I bought this large-bore silicone tubing with my plumbing materials. Routing space mattered in my interior plan because the tank and shower openings came before the framing and finishes.
Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
JoyTube offers the same listed bore in a shorter three-foot length. The other Quickun tube has a smaller inside diameter, so it represents a different hose-and-fitting size rather than a length-only change.
JoyTube Three-Foot Silicone Tube
This flexible silicone tube has a one-and-a-half-inch inside diameter. Its three-foot length provides a shorter section than a full tubing roll.
