water tank

Ok so i have previously converted 2WD vans and have used the CAK skirt tanks and also the triangle one in front of axel, have also used the one that goes around the spare wheel, but those wont work with 4 motion. So i can still use the skirt tanks but what have you done for another tank?? there...

Hi all. Hoping somebody can advice or point me at a suitable thread I have a SWB RHD T6 with a fairly standard sink/hob unit arrangement down drivers side. I want to install a grey water drain going through the floor in order to collect waste water under the van. I'm looking for advice as to...

I’m preparing my van for the installation of the alternator side of the split charge system. Everything has been disconnected or dismantled so I can remove the fridge/battery/inverter/larder cabinet fo access the installers wiring. However, I also have the shower pipes running up the side to the...

We have a pump in our brand new t6, that doesn’t work, it keeps dribbling water out of the blue bit at the top, and a jubilee clip isn’t keeping water from doing so. My question is can someone else who has a similar set up show me what is wrong with this and what we could potentially do to fix...

What do people do for a trap on the sink? We’ve got the obligatory smev 9222 which will go to a cak tank 205 with 20mm input connection. Looking on the usual sites there doesn’t appear to be any traps ? Is it usual to just run the pipe straight into the tank without a trap at all? Won’t you get...

After having my Adblue coded out it's got me to thinking whether the redundant Adblue tank would make a good onboard hot water tank? Cleaned out of course! Could even be fitted with a submerged heating element that can produced hot water whilst the engine in running. Filler cap is already in...

I'm sure there is an obvious solution to this but I have a 30l water tank which is connected to an external shurflo pump. What I'm looking for is a one way lid so that it let's air in when the pump is working but doesn't let water out when driving around. At the moment I'm having to unscrew the...

My tap has slowed to a dribble. There is water in the tank, pump is making the usual noise, no visible kinks in pipe work……any ideas anyone? TIA

I could do with a bit of reassurance in my proposed water system. I require a cold water supply to a sink. We use bottled water for drinking and cooking. We use washing facilities if on a site so only need occasional on board cold water. I have a 24 litre wheelarch tank ( not the best...

Hi peeps - I've never used my sink but since the rules for 12th April onwards require us to be self contained I think I'm going to have to pour stuff down it. The trouble is I only have 15cm of clearance under the van to put something to collect the liquids that come through. I just wondered if...

Sorry for the strange question but has anyone heard that if you dump your waste sink water 'straight out the van' you may not be allowed onto the channel tunnel due to the risk of dumping this into the shuttle. I was going to get my convertor to have the waste dumped straight out and avoid...

I am just about to order a 24 litre wheelarch tank but thought that I would ask if anyone else has fitted one to see if there are any snags that I haven't considered before I press the button. The bit that rests on the floor is 180 mm and it looks like it could be quite a tight fit between the...

Hi all. My first post here on the forum so hello everybody but please be kind as I'll probably be asking some pretty stupid questions in the near future! Anyway, I'll soon be on the lookout for a T30 or T32 LWB panel or kombi for a camper conversion. I've had a T25 for over ten years so feel...

I have an Autohaus conversion. How do I empty the water tank?

Having just bought my Campervan and having a demo on the water filling,what wasn’t covered was drainage of the fresh water tank when not in use for long period of time or the onset of winter freezing. Can anyone advise me on the easiest way,if not the only way of draining it? Advice would be...

Hi, I currently have a small internal water tank and I am wanting to fit an underslung tank. I have purchased a shurflo water pump to replace the submersible one. I am now looking at what tank I can fit under the van. I was going to get the CAK 48 litre one, but then noticed it states that if...

Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice/tips about using and maintaining the fresh water system in our van. I've searched this forum and used Google, but I could not find any related information for our setup. We have an onboard 10L removable plastic tank which is fed to the sink via an electric pump...

Does anyone use water purification tablets and if so any recommendations or any to steer clear of ? Cheers

Ok so I’m finally taking the camper out next week for our 1st stop over and a few questions if anybody can help. i was wondering whether to put water in to the water tank or just purchase 5/10 litre water storage then use it for drinking, boiling water, cleaning etc. if I use the van water tank...

Just got back from a first night wild camping in the bus in scotland - however, realised that the van (literally collected the day before lockdown from NWCC) only has a non-gravity water tank filler... anyone got any top tips for gizmo’s to fill the tank off grid? Van has both 12 and 230v off...
