Thanks again everyone for the great complements.
I should mention that cleaning the beer lines after use is not too hard to do. Basically, I fill a pressurized keg with home brewing sanitizer and run it throughout the system. Then I purge the system with a second keg of CO2 which drives out all of the sanitizer. It just takes a few minutes and that’s it. _________________ '75 Riviera

Cool setup!
Do you have any photos showing it with the keg and jockey box/cooler installed?
Do you have any problems with foaming, and if so how do you mitigate them?
Any time I travel with cornies I get pretty bad foaming problems until they kegs have had a few hours to sit and settle down. _________________ All-grain homebrewer with a 1990 Vanagon Carat. |

Unfortunately, I don't have pix of the kegs inside of the cabinet. Here’s another shot of the beer cooler coil. The only place that I know of that sells a SS 50 foot coil is Beer, Beer, and More Beer.
Foaming is not a problem. The beer line is pretty long; here’s a video. You can see that I could have used a little more carbonation in that beer.

Eche, good to know that you are so close! Maybe I'll see you at the Westside VW Bug-In? _________________ '75 Riviera

LOVE IT!
Was going to buld a new vanity/kitchenette and as a Westy and homebrewer (beer, wine, and mead), was going to install a "jockey keg" system smiilar to what you did with coil and just add ice/water.
Thanks for sharing your design and I didn't even think of using the cornelius keg(s) for water. i have man spares, so I will DEFINITELY be doing that!
I have a 77 West, so will have it behind the passanger seat by the sliding door soo peeps can pour themselves a drink inside or out and during tailgates!
Thanks for the ideas and sharing!!
