Underslung water and gas tanks on 4Motion

[Matt Hadfield]

Hi all I’m a new member and after some help/advice. I recently bought at SWB T6 T32 Dsg 4motion converted Kombi with 2 sliding doors, I am hoping to put gas underneath and hopefully water fresh and waste water if there’s room, I don’t really want to loose the spare wheel. Has anyone had this done or knows what works best in regards to correct tanks or if it’s even possible.
Thanks

No help on the tanks but in regards to losing the spare wheel, you could always door mount it like so

Search with ‘underslung 4M’ and you should find the answers

Yes I thought about this but I carry bikes quite a lot on a tow bar bike rack and this would cause issues. Cheers

I have a single slider LWB 4Motion. Available voids are:
Drivers door step - usually filled with diesel heater, but you can put a tank here.

Offside cill - I have 27 L freshwater here, I think this is available with twin slider, but I could be wrong.

In front of spare wheel - NOT available with 4Motion

Rear quarters- both sides have voids here, and there is a user on this forum that made a very nice one for the LHS, and CAK do a rudimentary one for the right I think.

Excellent I’ve not heard about the rear quarter voids I’ll look into that. Thanks

Found the thread

T5/T6 NSR underslung water tank

We recently completed a camper van conversion on a T6. As part of this we developed a water tank that fits in an unused space behind the N/S/R wheel to use as a waste tank and had a drain pipe fitted. Since then I have fitted one to my own van (T5) to use with a cordless pressure washer for...

These are the void spaces on my 4Motion. They would be good to keep levelling ramps in if I ever get around to fabricating a bracket.

4Motion is 4wd (and if spec'd, LSD)

Hi thanks for your message, yes it’s the 4motion (4 wheel drive) that causes the issue as the prop shaft runs down the centre to the rear.

ah I see , ours isn't a 4 motion , I hope you get something sorted out all the best

Hi, I have used a side skirt tank for waste water;



And a spare wheel well tank for fresh water;


If you have decent off road tyres, the spare wheel doesn't fit under the van anyway!

Unless you have another mod done!

Make if fitting an under slung gas tank the guy or girl doing has specific Gas Certs for doing vans as standard differ greatly from all other gas work. Would do it for you but I am in Paddy island in the north.
