Tube Bore Within the Tank-Layout Planning
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
I planned the water-tank openings before the interior was closed in. This Quickun purchase makes tube bore a clear comparison point: the JoyTube alternative keeps the one-and-a-half-inch inside diameter, while the smaller Quickun changes it. Length and bore are separate decisions when mapping the route between fittings.

Inside Diameter
1-1/2 inches
Outside Diameter
1-3/4 inches
The Quickun tube has a one-and-a-half-inch inside diameter and a one-and-three-quarter-inch outside diameter in its recorded listing. Inside and outside measurements describe different fits: the passage or barb engagement versus the space occupied by the tube wall. For a route layout, include bends and the connection positions rather than measuring only a straight run.
It depends on the connection format. Keep both inside and outside diameters available when comparing the tubing with a barb, clamp or pass-through opening.

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.
