As they are so busy down there at the factory in Victoria, wont receive it till March.
In a way this is not a bad thing as can now make sure have a cleared area with a concrete slab and have made up a massive Christmas list.
This may sound like a silly question, but does it have a grey water tank also??
Any other handy tips would also be welcome.
Many thanks
Ray

I would have thought it would be a smart idea to speak to the makers. Perhaps they could even provide you with the specifications of what you are buying. They may even be able to let you know of any options you may wish to have added to your purchase.

Ray,
look at A Van website and check the options etc for the van. I just did.
Greywater tank not one of them so I suggest it doesn't have one. I would call the dealer you ordered it from to find out exactly what you are getting.

I have all the specifications and what is included. There is also optional fittings listed which I have included some to be fitted.
There is obviousl a water tank but no mention of a grey water tank anywhere.
I could have got down on hands and knees and looked but did not feel like doing so as was not dressed for that.

Of course I checked out web site and brochers etc..
I just thought this site would have many A van owners and could get a simple answer..
Am only asking this as there is no mention of a fresh water tank either even though there is one.

Actually Ray, the website does mention that you are getting a 63 litre water tank.
Grey water tanks are still relatively new in the world of vans, and as such in most manufacturers lists they are still optional. It is changing but slowly.

Yes, I am aware of the fresh water tank, but I think it is becoming obvious there is no grey water tank. Many thanks for your replies and your patience.
I assume there would be some connection for a sink water hose.

Did you order one? If not then the answer is, you will not get one.

You're Correct Peter D.
Land Sailor. They don't have them fitted. I have seen aftermarket tank and also DIY types fitted, usually only 15-20 litres capacity.
I just use a designated Green or Black Jerry Can. Clearly marked "GREY WATER" Lives on the rear Bumper and is used as required. Likewise as required, emptied when an appropriate Drain or Dumpsite available.

Ray,
there will?? or at least should be a pipe that runs from the sink, through the cupboard, and have a short exit hose/connection outside the van, generally under the sink area.
You can then place a bucket or other receptacle under that short hose to collect, or it may have a fixed connection to attach a sullage hose to direct the waste water to a drain.

We've had an Avan caravan from new, for 5 years. Never heard of any type of Avan with a grey water tank.
Everything's an extra these days even an innerspring mattress is an additional cost upgrade from a foam mattress on a lot of models.

Hi all
Many thanks to you all for your help.
Yes I have already ordered the Avan and a grey water tank is not important to me anyway, as I know many use a hose and container to do the job.
As it will be a 2018 model, was not sure if it would have one or not, so just thought I would ask you anyway.
Hi all,
I have ordered a brand new Avan Cruiser 5.
