Installing water and plumbing systems in your Vauxhall Vivaro camper requires careful planning and execution to ensure a functional and reliable setup. Here’s how to proceed:

1. Plan the Layout: Map out where you will place the freshwater tank, greywater tank, pump, and pipes. Consider the proximity to appliances that will use water like sinks and showers.
2. Install Water Tanks: Secure the freshwater and greywater tanks in the camper. These are typically mounted under the vehicle or within built-in cabinetry. Ensure they are accessible for maintenance and cleaning.
3. Setup the Plumbing: Use food-grade hoses or pipes to connect your water tanks to the taps and appliances. Install a water pump to facilitate adequate water pressure to the faucets and shower.
4. Install Fixtures: Fit sinks, showers, and any other water outlets. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight to prevent leaks.
5. Test the System: Once everything is installed, test the water system for leaks and proper flow. Check that the pump activates correctly and that there are no blockages or leaks.

Installing a shower and toilet in your Vauxhall Vivaro camper adds comfort and convenience for extended trips. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Planning the Space: Determine the best location for the shower and toilet in your camper, considering plumbing and water tank connections. Compact combo units that include both a toilet and shower can save space.
2. Installing the Toilet: Choose between a portable toilet, which can be easily removed for emptying, or a fixed toilet with a black water tank. For the latter, you'll need to install and connect a waste tank underneath the vehicle.
3. Setting Up the Shower: Install a shower tray and fit waterproof panels to the walls. Ensure all joints and edges are sealed to prevent water leakage.
4. Water Supply and Plumbing: Route plumbing from your water tanks to the shower and toilet. Install a water heater if you want hot showers. Make sure all fittings are tight and leak-proof.
5. Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent mould and mildew. Consider installing a small vent or an exhaust fan in the bathroom area.
6. Testing: Once everything is installed, test the shower and toilet to ensure all connections are secure and there are no leaks.
