Grey water tank


After fitting the drinking water tank the other day i decided because of the break in this Irish weather that i would fit the grey water tank today. The rain has stayed off for 3 days now...what a miracle ;-) and it was a pleasure to see the underneath of the campervan without lying in a puddle or getting soaked because of the rain.
Any way i drilled the chassis and tank support tubing (2x2 box section) cut the rubber to cushion the tank top and bottom, i measured and cut the all thread.
That sounds easy when writing it ;-) it was a little bit of a struggle to hold the tank and try to tighten up the nuts so my dad came and gave me a hand, he also did the welding of the up-stands on the brackets.
We painted the support brackets and by the time we'd had our bacon and egg the paint was dry (we ate slowly ;-)
Drilled a hole in the tank and fitted the tank connector and the hose then threaded the hose up through the chassis drill a few holes and cable tied it inplace
We bolted up the tank making sur eth rubber strips were in place and voila all done and very happy ;-)
