You just need to fit a non-return valve on the tank outlet. Cost about a fiver and pretty much eliminates air ingress! I've been using one for years. 👍

That doesn’t work when the vans parked up hill and the water level is below the water outlet , I found this to be the main issues with a flat tank.

Errrrrr.... Obviously! But it does prevent air ingress from the water movement when the level drops to a low point.

But quite often you end up with half a tank of water you can’t use if parked on a hill, that was the main issue I had then you got air in the system and it was a pita when you did have water above the outlet again ,.

How are these wired into a battery? I have one of those electronic devices that charges the battery . I have one of those vans that stop and start when pressing clutch .
You need a separate leisure battery in the cargo area

The 500l Grippa Tank is 710mm high. It is a low level tank but probably high enough to limit air lock probelms. Another option would be a custom made tank from someone like www.plasticwatertanks.co.uk

So looking at tanks now, my present tank is an Enduramaxx 500 litre upright and very happy with it, it’s very well made and there is no water sloshing at all, so if I’m buying a new tank I would prefer another Enduramaxx tank. Looking at the Enduramaxx 500 flat which would be better for ratchet strapping but they would want £180 to deliver it to Scotland😲. Just wondering if I should ratchet strap my current tank? dimensions are L1200 W500 H1100

I’d go flat mate, you might get a bit of sloshing, so stuff a load of flexible drainage hose in the tank, that’s what I did. Worked a treat.

Flat tanks are so much safer. Also spreads the weight a bit better.
Maybe I’m overthinking things but another problem with a flat tank is this, I usually fill my upright to about 425 litres, so there is plenty room at the top of the tank before switching off my submersible pump. I would need to fill a flat tank nearer the brim to avoid air locks towards the end of the day, this would mean there is an increased risk of overfilling the tank and flooding the van🤯


Airlocks is the main issue with flat tanks if you live in a hilly area and constantly parking the opposite way to the tank outlet you will have issues ,I had a flat tanks years ago had nothing but problems since having an upright tank never had any since
