You can buy hose kits or diy plumb them in yourself like this example which I think is the better option

eBay offer the best prices
2 linked at the bottom 2 linked above with dump valve, I went this way as its a smaller footprint and when transferring to the van it hasn't got time to suck the first tank dry

thanks smurf and darran
darran
you fill one of the top tanks and transfer from one of the bottom tanks
your set up - does it fill and shut off automatically ?

Not at present, it's all timed, the water is fed in to the top pair that are joined to keep the water level equal then as the bottom pair are being emptied the vale for the top pair is opened and gravity fed into bottom pair, takes around 9 hours to fill the top pair so that's done through the working day.

pop this on one the top tanks outlet with 50mm one side and 13 or 20mm other, the 50mm will go in line line giving you a spare outlet, connect this to your lower tank on a float valve this will make it fully automated
