- In this video we installed a 15 gallon Grey Water Tank under the van. DIY undermount. #VanBuild #VanConversion
With the help of my husband Kevin, I recently finished converting a 2018 Ford Transit van into an off grid camper to serve as both a living space and an art studio while I travel. With the van build now complete, I am sharing my seasonally nomadic vegan lifestyle and van Life adventures.

WE ARE FELLOW VEGANS 78 YEARS YOUNG. GOOD VIDEO. WE'RE BUILDING A SPINTER RV AND WILL USE THIS VIDEO. GREAT STUFF
Thanks! 😊
Working on a van conversion now I can really appreciate Kevin's craftsmanship and attention to detail! Love learning how to do these projects the right way, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Thanks! It makes us so happy to know you appreciate the videos. Best of wishes on your van conversion!!
Great video and Kevin’s information and helpful guidance is just perfect! You are both such a delight to watch. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you.
Thank you! I’m happy you found it helpful.
This was so helpful to me, as I'm designing my grey tank system. Thanks so much for the excellent work!
Glad it was helpful!
another nice informative video THANKS
Kevin comes across on camera as calm and comfortable as you do, you’re both naturals 😊 Ive commented on it before but your van build and the recent adjustments are excellent. High quality and well thought through! All the best as you start the next leg of your journey ✌️
😊 thank you
Well done. Thank you for this video with clear speaking instructions.

Nice job (UK)
Thanks 😊
Very nice !
3 years later update? How is everything with the van...any issues with axel wrapping or drivetrain?
@@CHICOandtheVAN Not that I know of. I’ve since sold the van and we built out a Jeep for travel/camping. Van always ran great and hopefully still is.
Any particular reason you mounted the lip face down and not face up to hold the tank from sliding forward and back?
So that is how a wanted to mount it originally but because of where I could connect it to the van I had to put them the way I have it. And actually it worked out really well and there is no issues with the tank trying to slide back and forth. Thanks for watching.
Hey nice job on this video. I was curious, does the sink drain fast enough with the smaller hose?
Thanks! Yes, it drains quickly.
Very helpful how to video, thanks so much. Really appreciate the Amazon links.
I’m happy you found it helpful. Thanks!
For the electric valve you used, does it use power even when the switch is turned off? Just trying to figure out the reverse polarity vs auto return version
No it doesn’t use power when the switch is off. It stays closed until the power is turned on via the switch.
Where did you buy the holding tank? and is this for a Ford Transit or some other vehicle? Thanks
The tank isn't vehicle specific. We purchased it on Amazon. I have a product link in the description.
How did you cut out the 1-1/2 access, hole saw or step drill?
I just used a utility knife to cut out the plug that is inside the 1-1/2” access. - K
@@kgeorgeson thank you will try that
What size is the tank you installed
15 gallons 🙂
How big is your rivet nut? thanks

Electronic valve is so special, when a kid pressed a shitch and filled parking lot with shit and toilet paper
