I have finally finished repositioning my grey water tank, The tank originally was mounted where the rear water tank is meant to be, and that water tank was installed way up front, which really up set the ball weights when filled up.
Now everything is positioned about the suspension and the ball weight is sweet. The grey water tank is mounted between the suspension wish bones, I have even incorporated "Hey Jims" LH/RH outlet system.
Well done Ian, great job. Nice and neat but I sure hope that's not your blood on the pipe in the first pic mate :)

Great idea having outlet on both sides of the van. I had to put in S traps under sink and wash basin to stop any odour from coming back into the van - couldn't on the shower - so waiting to see if it is a problem.

Hi Ian,
Great stuff. You should forward a few Photo's to Jayco. When one puts ones mind into gear, anything can be achieved. They might send you a few Stubbie holders and a cap or two.
Its a pity the engineers there, get paid what they do, for doing sweet all. Doing what you have done, would cost little extra on the assembly line, at the time of build.
Enjoy.
Jim

That praise needs to be given to "Hey Jim", I put the problem up on the forum, and he came up with that suggestion.
Dougewe, I did end up with a hospital trip when I got a drop of glue in my eye from that tubing, but no blood.
The whole lot is held up by 6 bolts, (lock wired) so its not a huge drama to work on the suspension arms when the time ever is required.
Wiring and sensors all fit and work.
It is interesting to note, normally when something is parked on the lawn the grass grows like hell, the grass under the van has died, what is being washed off the new van?
Sorry, Glen, I had a Jayco system installed on the van, and it has those funny things to stop back flow, installed on all waste pipes.

Hi Ian,
I sent Glen a PM. They are (in line) Hypo Valves.
I down loaded a copy of the fitting instructions, for the Do Crew at Jayco on our last visit, so they could get it right.
Cheers Jim

Yes - I remember now, that there was one in the waste pipe from the shower in our Coromal. So shouldn't get any smells back into the shower, but there was nothing like that in the sink or wash basin pipes.
Have just tried my Grey Water tank out a few times, but haven't been anywhere yet where I have had to use it for the time we have stayed there! eg WA, NT, Qld, NSW or SA in 2015.
