Join us under the van today as we upgrade our Ford Transit self-build campervan with a full DIY underslung waste tank installation. This video covers everything from inspecting the underside of the van, drilling the mounting points, bolting the tank into place, and wrapping it in insulation to help stop it freezing during winter camping.
