500 litre Freshwater storage
With a build of my size water is a critical part of it's requirements. Sustaining a good period of time away from a supply source was important. So I needed a fairly large tank and have only got so much space to play with. I decided the best thing would be to have a raised false floor within the habitation box. This then gave a large area to place tanks and other associated equipment. One disadvantage of this route is there not any prebuilt water tanks for this type of install. After some research I found a company who specialises in making water tanks to all shapes and sizes. They agreed they could make both the freshwater and grey water to fit. I then moved onto designing the sub floor installation with all the ancillaries, piping, valve, and boilers in place.

Like the freshwater storing the used 'grey' water is another important part of camper life. Naturally in very remote locations especially dry climates you can let the grey water drain freely as it's used. But a majority of the time it has to be taken with you until you can find a suitable location to off load. A very important thing to remember with storing and transporting large amounts of water is the dead moving weight of water. It's important that the tanks are securely fastened to the vehicles structure. Secondly the tanks are baffled, this will stop a large mass of water moving around while traveling around corners and starting and stopping. Finally it's important to try and place both tanks as low in the vehicle as possible so the center of gravity is not effected too much.
