Why did you choose not to bring the exit pipework of the gray tank to the outside of the van and then use a standard blade style RV dump valve?
Because you can't operate one of those remotely as you're driving down the road
Cheaper and easier.True, but you must be new to this thread. ;)
Also why is the exit pipe in the side of the tank rather than in the base?I thought about the drain from beneath but I'd have to give up greywater tank capacity in return. It was a question of having enough space for everything I wanted and not going to low below the edge of the van. I want to keep the boring white work van look as much as I can. Vans with running boards have more room to play with underneath.
Surely even after dumping you will have smelly gray water sloshing around?I really don't know. Never been around a greywater tank before so this is all new to me. There is a water trap for the sink so thought any smells would stay in the tank.
I had been wondering, with the overflow opening in the front of the tank and if I drive with the dump valve open, would that cause enough of an airflow through the tank to dry it out?
One thing for sure. If it doesn't work out, I'll keep after it till it does.
