    Ah thanks Darren.
    I didn’t

    Ah thanks Darren.

    I didn’t even think about ambulance suspension. I take it that that is initially a pro until it breaks and then a very big con.

    I’m hoping to find one of the longer wheel base versions of a Sprinter or similar as I’d quite like to install at least a head, if not shower as well. I see there aren’t a lot of pictures of how other people have worked that section of their’s out on this website but will see what I can get from google images. Speaking of the wc, I haven’t seen much about water tanks other than a 20L drum under the basin. What would the feasablity be of making a tank by welding (well) two narrow metal plates across the floor from wall to wall depending on the size of tank desired and lining with water proofing of some sort. and then putting the floor on top of this (obviously with lid welded on too). I should figure the low flat nature of it would help keep the vehicle stable, especially if some baffles are included in the welding. I also realise it would raise the floor level a bit. Have you heard of anything similar having been done?

    as always, thanks
