we have used baffle balls, also  1 litre flower pots cable tied
together at the narrow end , others have used sections of land drain pipe placed inside the tank

I use play balls with holes in them. Cost £4 for a 100.

Sorted my ferry problem.

[bobplum]

how many did you use in relation to the size of the tank
cheers bob

I noticed the ferry problem today and have a load of those coloured ball pit balls in the garage.  Just found your previous post with photos of your van - do you really need to use a soldering iron to puncture them?  Presumably the holes need to be big enough but perhaps I could hack at them with scissors?

1 baffle ball to 10 litres of water

i think the company i had them is called agrratech

maybe or maybe not  I used the latter (coiled perforated type) just shoved a whole 25 m coil in (think it was 80 mm diameter)
my water used to slosh about and it doesn't anymore.

Soldiering iron is quicker and neater. Scissors splits the balls.

I have a 100 for 350 L I still get some sloshing. But it Did reduce it.

Thin yet light plastic tubing two thirds the height of tank dropped in the lid, larger the better
