On a serious note, Yes, thats all you would need.

Depending on weather or not you live in a hard or soft water area you might be able to get away with just the di vessel (soft water area)

Thanks guys it is a hard water area.  :-[ How long do you think it would take to fill a 650 ltr tank?

depends on water pressure, i use a merlin, have a 240 ltr static container and 80 psi, takes about 2 hrs to fill, so maybe about 6 - 7

the water will just run straight out the van doors...so get a tank installed as well ;D

You will need a pump to get the water out of the tank and this pump will need to be wired up to a separate, deep cycle leisure battery and have a on/off switch fitted into its wiring.
A relay can be fitted by an auto electrician so the battery remains charged or you can recharge it yourself with a battery charger.

The water will then have to be pumped through hose, so a hose reel is neccessary.

Then of course, you will need a water fed pole.

A 650L tank should last you 2-3 days?

So every sunday and wednesday night just take your ro or di vessel into the van and rig up some kind of auto cut off. Not sure how but i'm sure it could be done!

There is someone in the US using these 2 items inline in a van and they have enough inlet pressure to produce enough outlet pressure.  So they don't need a tank.

You seem to be in the US as well and I would be happy to give you that individuals contact info.

I personally am in the process of setting up a static system though as I feel they are the way to go.

My apologies.  None the less.  If the water pressure is good enough you may be able to accomplish it in a van without a holding tank.  Just give it a shot and see if the outlet pressure is good enough.

007 - the only way to fill a 650ltr tank FAST is to have either a single 4040 or twin 4040 pumped system.

With a single boosted 4040 you're looking at 200ltrs+ per hour.

With a double boosted 4040 you're looking at production rates of 400ltrs+ per hour.

Rated figures for ro membranes are usually at 100psi, 20c water temp and 85% recovery.  We recommend 50% recovery to increase membrane life.  At 85% recovery you will get approx 340ltrs per hour from a boosted single ro.

Salt rejection rates are normally 99% with short leaf tfc membranes.
