cheaper one if you're strong enough to carry 23 litres (not sure I am)

Not sure how legal it is or whether you mind having a cheap option on your van, but we have a black diesel 5 litre jerry can. You know the ones you get for filling up your car when you run out of fuel?? Can't think on the right name for them (sorry). We have it connected with a bit of grey corrugated pipe. Works wonders for us and doesn't take up much room at all.
However, we are still running our mazda bongo. Have a while to go before we have enough saved for our VW.

Yep this is a no-no as far as I'm concerned. There are plenty of people out there who don't like campervans/motorhomes and are trying (and often succeeding) in getting more restrictions on where we can park. Dumping grey water on the ground plays right into their hands as they can lump us all together as "dirty travellers ".
Just get a bit of pipe to connect to the outlet and then put a waste water hog outside and it drains into that...then when it's full you can chuck it in the bushes and bob's your uncle!
With regards to the pee-ing outside comment, I've wild camped regularly my entire life (tents) and doing so is a necessity. It will also be required when in remote places in that van. I don't see an issue with this but don't want to open up a second can of worms
You should get a bog in a bag...
That's ok for campsites but I will be mainly out and about in the van, would be a pain going outside and connecting a tank everytime I want to run a tap then disconnecting before I move again. I'll need a more permanent solution I think although those tanks you linked to do look good

Oh and also need to start looking at awning options as haven't done that yet. Like the idea of the bolt on fiama type ones that wind out but have done zero research on awnings yet
Edit - also want to get a maxton splitter, and hydrodip my side bars, and fit a rear spoiler , and fit an underslung lpg tank
Starting to wonder if it will ever end

@xpfloyd Sorry for the topic departure as it has rather spoilt your flow. Perhaps @Pauly could transfer the offending posts to a new thread of "Waste Water Disposal?
Now to your post - you have made significant progress and I wouldn't offside any problem with the reclassification. What are you thinking of for a heater - just to heat space or water as well and are you going LPG after all? I suspect those are the decisions that you mention that you have to make. Good luck and we look forward to the photo update

I'm 99% sure I'm going the lpg tank route so thinking propex heater is the sensible option after that. Just want to heat the air. Someone put me off the propex saying you couldn't set the temperature so need to research that a bit

I thought you could, as its only a thermostat firing it up..
They made it sound like it was a thermostat that you basically wound round from off to full but couldn't actually set 18 degrees for example. I've not had time to look into it yet though. I suppose that wouldn't be a deal breaker. Just want to do a bit of reading to see if people actually like the propex heaters though and if they are noisy etc
Here you go, have a read of this..
New thermostat arrives !! - Propex Heating & Leisure
This bit mentions another digital thermostat, but says it's a quiet unit, and gives consumption..
