Caravan Grey Water Tanks
Fully self contained camping with a caravan grey water tank in Australia's pristine national parks
Grey water tanks for caravans are designed to store and hold wastewater from sinks, showers and washing machines until it can be disposed of.
A caravan grey water tank is a popular upgrade for those planning a self sufficient set up or heading off grid. It gives you the ability to stay in self contained grounds like national parks and use your van easily on the side of the road.
Many WA national parks and reserves require vehicles to be fully self-contained before you can camp overnight - you can check current requirements on the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) website before you head out.
Grey water tanks are not an expensive waste water solution. They do however require careful installation to ensure proper drainage and ease of discharge, which is why our workshop handles fitting alongside other off-grid upgrades like solar panels and lithium batteries for customers setting up for extended off-grid travel.
Do I really need a caravan grey water tank?
While not essential for all caravanners, a grey water tank may expand the options available for off grid camping.
Whether you need a caravan grey water tank depends on several factors, including the places you plan to visit and local regulations.
Grey water is seen as a hazard to natural waterways and plant life. It can also be an unsightly and unhygienic mess on your camping landscape if not properly contained.
A grey water tank is fast becoming a requirement in many of Australia's more natural and preserved locations, with mandatory installation and use required during your stay.
Our team can fit a grey water tank alongside other upgrades like solar and lithium battery systems, so your van is genuinely ready for extended self-contained travel. Get in touch with our workshop to talk through the right tank size and installation for your setup.
