Sell your westie and buy an Adventurewagen, it comes standard with one.

Is it Friday yet.

Here's a good site talking about graywater tanks for small vehicles:

Looks like people have adapted the very tanks you link to above, so they
must be about the only thing available beyond the standard blue RV tanks
you find. I found lots of tanks by Googling "collapsible tank", but
nothing
smaller than 75 gallons. I'm guessing you want something a wee bit
smaller
than that. :)
