Water tanks under the van location
I bought this Ducato that used to be a mobile coffee van, so it had plumbing and electrics that I am re-fitting.
The plumbing is in good shape and the grey water tank is underneath, right where I should be in my opinion.
Awfully the big freshwater tank used to be inside the van, in the kitchen.
I thought of putting it down there (picture attached), even if the chassis is uneven (damn it) with some brackets I found in the right size for 50$, and stuff from the hardware store.
The issue is that I know how to put it together - it's kind of my job - but I really don't know much about cars....
Apart from the $$$ for all the bits I need to build the frame, my fear is starting to be that maybe the location is incorrect in terms of suspensions-clearance?
That's about 100mm in front of the suspension bar, but it sit much higher, 100mm lower than the other tank so I thought it would be safe.
If it doesn't work, I can easily put it where the spare wheel is and open another can of worms - chuck it on the roof, on the door... - but at least I will have water while I think about that? :) I know there's full water tank kits out there, but I am pretty skinned after the buy so I really want to re-use the tank that I have if I can.
Thoughts on the location? that okay? Thanks!
