Can anyone post a picture of how they have set up there van with regards to the hose from the water tank to the pump. My tank is at the front of the van, but undecided as yet just where to run the hose and mount the pump/ battery. Any ideas at to how some other guys have there's set up would be appreciated. I have a mid range size van (vw transporter) so plenty of room, just looking what works best.
Many thanks in advance

My tank is sat on a skid plate so my pump & battery are bolted to that. I build a wooden frame onto the skid plate above the battery & pump which are in sealed plastic box so my hose reel is bolted above on marine ply. Works well as when reeling in didn't break ya back and also gives me space for lawn mower & other stuff that's in the transit custom trend.

I have a peugeot expert with tank up against the bulk head, water tank outlet is at rear left corner in the van (sorry no pics).
I have a short length of scaffold board with a shurflo pump mounted to it and a flow controller, it just lays flat on the floor connected to the tank outlet by a few inches of hose, after the pump the hose is connected directly to hose reel (fixed to floor by 4 white plastic pipe brackets secured to floor by self tapping screws)
I like this way because all hose lengths are kept to a minimum and the pump is inline at the same height as the tank outlet.
Freezing overnight temps are no issue for me as its all quick release, I can remove the hose reel and pump in a couple of mins and take indoors (street parked/cannot heat my van)

Thanks chaps,
Will have a look at those options both sound good to me.
