VAN LIFERS + VAN BUILDERS
OUR PLUMBING SYSTEM DETAILS
Here is a list of plumbing products we used for our van.
WATER TANKS

Our van has a 35 gallon fresh water tank located under the bed bench, 15 gallon gray tank for the sink, and a 15 gallon black water tank for our urine diverting toilet. We normally don't have two separate dump tanks but we knew running plumbing around the vehicle chassis would be difficult plus having two separate tanks means less dumping! We've always bought these Class A tanks.

WATER PUMP

This pressure pumps is the best! Be sure to buy the 12 volt DC of the pump! They do offer normal house outlet pumps so it can be confusing. Remember: 12 volt DC appliance whenever possible.
We connect the pump straight to the fresh water tank with PEX connections. We recommend always T-ing off one pump to both your sink and shower to save space and money.

URINE DIVERTING TOILET

After living on the road for over a year, this style of toilet is still our favorite for vanlife for many reasons. Check out our YouTube channel on why.

Don't be intimidated using Pex if you haven't used it before! It's super easy and allows more "stretch" that PVC. Blue for cold water, red for hot water.

PEX
GRAVITY FEED WATER FILL PORT
How you can fill your water tank. We like to use gravity fill to be able to use any hose, without attachments.
