Van Plumbing

Van plumbing is more than just a sink or water tank. It’s the lifeblood of your van that transforms your experience from basic camping to true van life. From gear wash stations to folding showers, we specialize in creating custom solutions to meet our clients’ unique needs.

Fresh Water Galley systems

We use BPA-free water tanks and lead-free fittings for all of our plumbing projects. The systems are self-contained and typically consist of two fresh water tanks and one gray water tank. A pump allows water to be brought to sinks. Basic systems don’t produce hot water, but are easy to winterize and can be modular, so you can remove them from the van entirely if needed.

hot water

This is where the rubber meets the road in a van build. Having hot water adds a level of comfort that elevates your lifestyle and allows true off-grid living.

We can incorporate hot water into the sink, a rear spray shower, or even an interior shower. Like with our fresh water systems, our hot water systems are designed to be four-season capable and safe to operate even in cold winter months.

van showers

If you've made it this far, you've probably seen a lot of different van shower options. The reality is that many of those showers end up becoming a clothes rack. If you don't want to use just an exterior sprayer, we can do is build a stellar shower into the floor of your van, so it can be folded away and won't take up valuable interior space. You can see an example of this in our Abeona van.

van toilets

While we can install van toilets, most vanlifers prefer a cassette toilet because there is no blackwater tank to deal with and new technology makes disposing of waste even easier, cleaner, and safer. 

We like to find a nice hiding spot in the van to store the toilet, so it can be pulled out and used when needed, but is hidden when not in use. The cassette toilets are demountable toilets, so can be used both inside and outside, giving you more flexibility.

Easy Maintenance

The goal of vanlife plumbing is to make your life easier and more enjoyable, not create hassles. Regardless of how simple or complex the vanlife plumbing system is, we always make sure to build it in a way that is easy to use, maintain and service in the field, including adjusting the system for different seasons.
