We didn't make that grey water tank we helped Bob source it at Bus Depot...
So sorry for the confusion! ;)

Bob,

Was yours a tank from Germany or one of the ones from the Skylight Guy?

Cheers,

Jeff

Since the A/C hoses run through the forward frame crossmember that the tank
fits up against, and since the hoses run along the bottom of the van, where
the tanks fits up against, they interfere with the tank sitting flush up
against both of those surfaces. So, the tank must be modified to install
into the space where the sink drain comes out of the bottom of the van.
The hoses can't be "re-routed" because of the way they are installed INTO
the frame, in the same place the tank is designed to be installed into.

I like how the tank fits and functions. Since I have a friend who has the
plastic welder, it was an easy mod to make to the tank. As for any loss of
clearance, that is minimal as the tank sits just lower than the propane
tank, and nearer the front wheel, and behind the mud flap, which protects it
from wheel spray.

A bunch of photo's of the tank before and after mounting, with some notes on
the pics.
