Van Conversion: DIY Underfloor Waste Water Tank - Tutorial How to Build (Mercedes 310 T1 Camper Van)

Our underfloor grey water tank will collect the water from the kitchen sink and also the water from our composting toilet. So we will not use a canister to collect the piss which is nasty to empty, but everything goes directly into our main waste water tank which we can empty at a camp ground dump station with a big ball valve. The video will show you exactly how to build an underfloor water tank for your van.

add a riser tube to your breather/overflow so that braking doesn't foul your ball valve handle...

First time I've heard the phrase "dummy piss" lmao

Thank you for all the videos, they are very informative! I must say, your 310 is in excellent shape. Greetings from your neighbor in The Netherlands

Wish i had money for you to build my van you pay so much attention to detail..

Your channel is a huge blessing for my case of conversion! An Indian commercial vehicle maker had licensed Mercedes T1 model rights to produce it for Indian market, and seeing that most conversions are of sprinter van which is non-existent in Indian market, so seeing your van match my van model and to see the same ideas being executed on it, it is really resourceful to know that! Cheers and all the best with your conversion and van life!

enjoying your campervan conversion videos. great attention to detail. well done 👍

Very professionally done sir. And the video was fun to watch. I am a person who loves tools but I'm not familiar with your beautiful ratchet and socket set. I would really appreciate knowing what brand they are. Thank you.

Good tidy job just ensure isolation between the aluminium and dissimilar metals to prevent corrosion

The guidelines on the disposal of urine must vary by region. I know that in the US and at least some other countries, urine is considered blackwater and must be disposed of as such. OTH, I'll readily step off a hiking trail and avail myself of a bush or tree, so there is that.

Super Video, danke dafür.

Fantastic content. You have an eye for quality and detail. I'm thinking of replicating something similar for my Ford Transit. Are there any concerns about the the straps being able to hold 30kg + aluminum frame? I see the tension lines are rated for 150 kg load capacity, but I could see the tank going over a bump and causing some dynamic loads that would be cutting it close. Also, curious if you've noticed any movement/sounds from it be hung instead of fixed?

Hey wann kommt das nächste Video? Ich bin sehr gespannt wie es weiter geht!✌️

At what temp will the water freeze in this tank? Cheers
