Doing my first DIY Van System hopefully soon for a second van.

I'm absolutely hopeless at DIY seriously.  I will give it my best shot and not after anything fancy just something simple, tidy that does the job.

Anybody willing to send me some photos via email of their DIY Systems for me to have some idea of what looks good and works well.  Looking for inspiration.

Thanks guys.

That’s neat - just a note my early setups were wood after a couple of years they suffered really badly from rot and damp - where possible go for steel ( one of my lads is a great welder which makes it a breeze ) we have been putting in a system today so I’ll get some pics for you

This is my DIY System.  I bought from various parts over the years (as and when needed) and finished with this.  I always used to strap the tank down but now its all bolted and secure.  much neater that way too!

If you don't have electric reels already mate, get some. It makes a big difference to your day.


The immersion is a lifesaver in the winter, I don't use it other times of the year but in winter it's awesome.

I'll be around mate if you need a hand with owt. I can also put you onto the guy who bolted my tank in and fabricated the hose guides.

He'll make you a frame if you like and save you a good few quid.

Nice setup Daz, did grippa tank fit that for you, or did you just buy all the parts and do it yourself.

got my local garage to fit the tank and frame(bolted through the eyelets with pieces of angle iron,no drilling through the van floor!)and grippatank to fit the diesel heater,pump,controller,batteries and b to b charger.....i did fix in place and wire up my electric reel and install the pole holders so their is a small bit of DIY....

...oh and i fitted the door cards and brush/gooseneck holders on the inside of the van back doors.....

This would be a good system for you Josh, as long as you don't mind spending about £6000.00 on the interior of your van, it might even be more than that😮😮😮😮

Not quite finished but you get the idea -

Protector coat floor - 1000 litre tank fully baffled - steel frame and stainless steel shelf
