Hi folks,
I have a 2017 FWC Swift Shell model sitting on my 2019 Ford Ranger Super Crew FX4.
The Swift is completely barebones, just came with 1 fan and wiring for solar, did not come with the popane housing/kitchen unit. I've outfitted it myself with a front bench seat that houses the 100Ah lithium, 200W solar, Renogy charge controller, as well as a fridge, kitchen unit, Lagun swivel table, closet, and an Alu-Cab shadow awning.
After my first shakedown trip this past weekend, I realized the hand pump faucet with the blue 7 gallon aqua-tainer water jug was not going to cut it, nor was the disposable green propane bottles.
Goals:

Goals:
- Running water with pump and filter
- Faucet at the sink
- A place to attach a hose to bring pressurized water outside for shower/rinse off feet or dishes
- At least 10 gallons of water in a proper water tank
- A 5 or 10 lb propane bottle mounted outside (may use AT Overland or Mule brackets)
- Propane hose routed into the camper to attach to camp stove or mr heater buddy
- What are the recommended water pumps, filters, faucets, and water tanks? Anything I need to consider?
- Where do I find quality faucet options?
- Any ideas on how to go about attaching a hose to bring water outside? Any faucets with a hose attachment on the outlet?
- Any tips on mounting a propane tank on the outside and routing the hose inside?
