Welcome John. Thanks for the comment. Now all you have to do is get time to use it 😁

cheers Adam. I think these are under 95% of all vans and campers in Aus. Pretty good for the price too I think but not much competition out there. thanks for the comment mate

cheers mate.

It is a bit weird. You just need pressure to fill above that point and make sure you're to breather hole is open. Then youre all good

cheers Fae

No real reason other than wanting to keep it as protected as possible. I'm going to put some rubber around under the tank and the tap to protect it from stones etc. Also being a little fella, it's easy enough for me to reach under the van and get to it. I am going to put a tap on the front draw bar or the back bumper as well for easy access.

cheers mate. she's a few years old now. It is the casio pgr 130t from their protrek series. The best thing about it, is it is solar powered. No bloody battery replacements all the time. thanks for the tip on the valve. hadn't considered that. but would a 1 way work ? it works as an overflow for me when filling, so needs to be able to work outwards and let air in when taking water from the tank. I really need to stick a sock or the like over it to stop dirt and the bugs trying to make a home in it.

The taste doesn't bother me but it's rare that I will drink from that water tank anyway. It's mainly used for washing dishes and the like.

Cheers David. I've noticed my breather up to has let go. So I need to drop it back down to check. I might stick a new one in whilst I'm there

If iPhone would send me now me photos are show you the pic but if you typing water tank breathers that's the only blue fitting glad I can help

No mate. Not at all

cheers Tim. yes to pretty much all of that. I saw a video where the guy used some 6mm rubber to act as a guard but only for the connections as the end. I'm guessing it only has to be some thin sheet metal of some sort. I'll have to suss it out to figure how they mount it to the van. I'd like a gauge but I'm not sure it would be worth my effort for the amount of water I'd use. Although if I plumb up the water heater to the tank it would be more applicable. Can they be mounted in these tanks easily enough ? I have no idea how they're attached etc. From the experience I've had with it thus far, it a great piece of kit for the price. I will mount it the same way for the odd shower here and there. While typing that I just realised I could make up a set of hoses and connect it up to the drain hose i fitted on that side of the van. If I throw an anderson plug into the deal on the side to power a small pump it could just work. Thanks Tim, you're an ideas man. Re the dog, there's not stopping him being involved. He does get in the way at the most inopportune time but I can't hold that against him :)

Which part mate? The connection to the tank or just the diameter of the hose itself?

@@DENMONKEY both would be great thank you,

@@DENMONKEY sorry mate i read that wrong, the diameter of the hose sorry

mate, I haven't forgotten you. I'll try and get it this weekend. the tube running from the tank to the sink though is 13mm.

Realistically, I never used all of the smaller tank. So the biggest one of still over kill for me. I pretty much only use it to wash up but I wanted the extra for once I get the hot shower set up finished. Then it will come in handy
