Electric WASTE Water Valve For Your Camper Van

fitting an electronic water valve is an easy install and requires only a few parts, but emptying your wastewater can mean you have to get on the floor in dirty places to open the drop valve, by fitting a mechanical ball valve you don't even need to get out of the driver's seat, and you won't get dirty or get on your and knees. It's also handy if you have difficulty getting down to the drop valve and is ideal for disabled campervan owners

products you need to do this job, you also need cable and a fuse

"This job has taken me far too long"

Story of our lives 🤣

Probably will be getting some of these for various things around the van 👍

[PaulPeck]

You're the Roger Wakefield of the Van Lifers Neil! That thumbnail though... 🔥

[alangriffiths]

Awesome idea Niel, thanks for sharing mate.❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

Hi mate good video, handy thing to have.
Good to see you at the show the other week.👍
My waste just drains straight outside which is much easier 😂
If you had the ball valve mounted sideways you could get more out of the tank as the inlet would be lower and without the need 90 degree elbow.

Great idea to film it great content Neil ordered all the stuff for when I get my new van 🎉

[TRTU]

The van just keeps on improving!
😎👍✅✅✅✅

Great job. Unsure if anyone has mention this But might be good idea to put in a second release manual tap just to dump the wast if something happens to the valve.
You can release the wast to then maintain or replace the valve

Great vid keek them coming 👍🏻👍🏻

looks handy. Im not having any onboard water on the trailer at this time but something to keep in mind for future builds for sure. id suggest plastidip instead of the bag im guessing the bad will rip when you go on gravel as well as hold water IN and not let it to try out.

[WanderbusAdventures]

Well done for getting it done in the great British weather. Neat idea this.

[vteccured]

I mounted/threaded the valves onto the tank . It's stable and no need for brackets. Then simply run the piping from valve to the end.

Holy shit Neil, you are on it buddy, My waste tank pipes kept blocking up and began to stink the van up, my solution was to remove said waste tank and allow grey water to flow direct to ground. If I’m ever on a campsite or a place that will make people frown I’ll simply put a bucket under the outlet. Never needed to do that yet though 😂

[theoteam]

Nice video, you can actually get a 2 wire normally closed one that will automatically close when it loses power. That’s what we have. All you need is positive and negative and a normal switch.

great upgrade. and just an idea, if you wanted to make it even easier you could fit two delay-off relay boards for each positive feed so that when you click the momentary switch it’ll trigger the relay that essentially holds the switch for you for say 5 seconds to fully operate the valve and then it’ll stop. just to save you holding it down and not knowing when it’s fully open/closed. this is what i’d do but I don’t even have a waste tank haha

Hi Neil, messaged you yesterday evening on your website.
Cheers, Mike

[johnallan]

That's a good idea you're a clever man smart thinker 👍👍👍

[pelletboilers]

I think that it may be better to install the valve horizontally and the put a 90 degree bend on the outlet from the valve, that way the pipe from the tank would be lower and the outlet would be higher if that make sense, and if the outlet is higher you may be able to get a bucket underneath if you need to.

[PECorbit]

A great improvement to your van! Good job.

[Memyselfandvan]

Another job ADDED to the list to do, thanks Neil 🤣

[cytringan]

I have the same valve Neil, but I have connected mine to a 12V WIFI relay, so I can command my on board Alexa to empty the waste tank!

[nabarnes]

Also handy if you've been told to follow VOSA to a weighbridge or scales and you think you may be overweight. I know a couple of people who've put dump valves on both their grey and potable tanks for that reason!
