I really wanted to make sure it was secure and safe because when full it weighs a lot and could be dangerous during a crash so I spent a lot of time making sure it was securely bolted to the structure of the van. Also forgot to mention this in the video but we opted for an internal water tank so we are fully winterised and ready for some big winter trips to cold climates! In this video we continue with the VW Crafter Adventure van build, focusing on the installation of a 100-liter Wydale water tank. Despite the rainy British summer, I press on with the project. I details the process of fitting the water tank, including installing rivnuts, securing brackets, and handling some unexpected challenges with the tank's placement and weight. I also provides updates on other aspects of the build, such as suede-lining bed pieces and wheel arches, and preparing for the final fit of the water tank. I discuss the method for insulating and lining the panel behind the tank, and the final touches on the installation. The video showcases the practical steps of van conversion while adding a personal touch with the family's involvement.
