Water tank - Eltrevo - 18-09-2023
Hi all I have just put a 76 back on the road after 14 years of sitting in someone’s driveway rusting away . Has anyone got any advice on the right brand and size and placement for a water tank

Water tanks and their position/mounting depends on the camper type/conversion.
ie some just have a 20 ltr plastic drum under the sink, mine - Sopru- has a galv. tank suspended beneath the floor. Worth getting to an event and seeing the different types first hand….Old Bar is coming up soon…lots of campers in attendance at Lani’s

Thanks for the reply I had a feeling that might be the case .I was hoping there was a simple answer but as with thing that are worth doing it is never simple

Put up a photo of your camper conversion. It'll help with advice.
I've got a Sopru conversion with twin non original 316 s/s 45 litre tanks under it. I could do dimensions for you that fit.
Alternatively if you came to Old Bar I've got some spare (ex Tintop) s/s tanks that I'd love to find a home for
. Guaranteed to fit a Kombi.
Cheers

Can’t say I will make old bar unfortunately as I’m a shift worker and I’m working on those date plus At this stage I’m up to leaving the suburb but not the state “ still in the testing stage “ but if you could send size details of tank would be appreciated . This is my first step into the world of kombi campers so I’m not sure of the placement .

Are their vent holes behind the fridge , in the floor, to drain the heavier gas?
Should be a (standard) tank size. Do you want the dimensions of my original replicated tank?

Show me a photo 'up under'
that RHS to see what the floor is doing?
I'll send size of tank & frame tomorrow upon receipt.

Hi Dave I have fitted a 12 volt bushman’s fridge no vent in the floor have closed all holes in floor welded up and built my own cabinets so I think the floor pan should be pretty standard . We do have a galvanised roll out step on the LHS at the sliding door Can't send photos I’m not with vehicle at the moment Thanks for your help Trevor
