we have a static tank at home only , using a merlin but I was thinking of putting something in the van 

incase we ran out on a job going to have loads of room as its going in a transit or a t5  van with a 1000lt tank
which would be the best system to use it may seem like over kill to some but while the vans getting kitted out from scratch I think it would be wise to do it now rather then after

My quandary exactly. Im in a rental house and I will have trouble disguising an IBC in the garage.. However I think Ill get away with the RO in the van..

I have bought a Vivaro SWB and Im picking up a 1000l IBC tomorrow.
I was going to plumb it all in . but now Im having reservations particularly around frozen filters..

I the only way I can think of dealing with the winter is by banging a small fan heater in overnight during frost..

any better ideas appreciated .

I flooded my garage once too many times.
Other than the door my garage floor is now completely waterproof to 5 inches up the wall.

Why don't you fit an overflow pipe to the side of the tank. This is what we have. Its connected to a length of hose that ends up at the drain for the garage roof.

I don't think ours has ever been used as we have a float switch and solenoid valve which switches the water off to the r/o when the IBC tank is full. If you are on timer or manual setup, then things could go wrong occassionally.

As Alex has said in reply to the first poster, processing water into a seperate IBC tank is the way to go. When I processed water into my trailer over night, I woke up to either find it over flowing or with no water at all as I had forgotten to switch the r/o on before I went to bed, or someone else had switched the outside tap off, etc.

It is on a float valve.
But had issues with it.
Got it replaced and did the floor at the same time.
Been tickets boo for a while now

We are moving soon and I will have lots of off road parking. That being the case, I would like to move away from a static tank, but equally I don't wnt to spend a fortune on a van mounted system. What would a fitted one cost and are their alternatives?

Use your static production system to fill up your existing tank in your van. No fortune spent and no extra cost at all. Some times the most obvious things can pass people by . Fitted systems usually start about 1.5k.

Actually, I had thought of that.
